H-1B Dismissed — Social Services (2004): did not establish the proffered position of executive

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of executive director qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, noting the wide range of acceptable degrees. The evidence provided was insufficient to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
