H-1B Dismissed — Religion (2021): did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary is qualified to perform services in the specialty occupation. The Director initially denied the petition on these grounds, and the AAO concluded upon de novo review that the submitted evidence, including evaluations of the beneficiary's foreign education and work experience, was insufficient to meet the H-1B regulatory requirements.
