dismissed H-1B Case: Quality Control
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Quality Assessment Coordinator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into such a position, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's own job description, which allowed for three years of work experience as an alternative to a degree, also weakened the argument that a degree was a mandatory prerequisite.
