H-1B Dismissed — Translation Services (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'translation
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.
