Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a critical care nurse qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found the duties were equivalent to a registered nurse, an occupation that does not normally require a bachelor's degree, and that the beneficiary lacked the required state license to practice nursing in California.
