H-1B Dismissed โ Pharmacy: did not establish the beneficiary was qualified for the
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation of a pharmacist. New York state law requires a license to practice pharmacy, but the petitioner did not provide evidence of the beneficiary's license, incorrectly asserting that a license was not required. The unsupported claims of counsel were deemed insufficient to meet the petitioner's burden of proof.
