H-1B Dismissed โ€” Nursing (2005): did not establish the proffered position of a critical care

๐Ÿ“… 2005-10-26 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Nursing

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a critical care nurse qualified as a specialty occupation, as the minimum entry requirement for a registered nurse is an associate's degree, not a bachelor's. Furthermore, the beneficiary was not qualified for the position because she did not possess the required nursing license from the State of California.
