H-1B Dismissed — Pharmaceuticals (2005): did not establish the proffered position of 'sterile

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'sterile production specialist' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria, such as proving a bachelor's degree is a normal minimum requirement for the role or that the duties are sufficiently complex to necessitate such a degree. Inconsistencies and unsupported assertions by counsel also weakened the petitioner's case.
