dismissed H-1B Case: Translation Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'translation coordinator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although the initial denial focused on the beneficiary's qualifications, the AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that the position itself normally requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, a fundamental requirement for the H-1B visa category.
Criteria Discussed
Beneficiary'S Qualifications Normal Degree Requirement For Position (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1)) Industry Standard Degree Requirement (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(2)) Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(3)) Specialized And Complex Duties (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(4))
