dismissed H-1B Case: Veterinary Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered position of 'veterinary technologist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the job duties described were more aligned with those of an animal care and service worker, an occupation which does not require a bachelor's degree, rather than those of a veterinary technologist.
