Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a nursing placement agency, failed to establish that the proffered position of a registered nurse qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not a standard minimum requirement for registered nurses, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner also did not provide sufficient evidence that the specific duties were so complex or unique as to necessitate a degree, especially given the lack of detail about the ultimate work site.
