H-1B Remanded โ Business (2025): the Director denied the petition based on the beneficiary's
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition based on the beneficiary's qualifications but failed to properly analyze the threshold issue of whether the position itself is a specialty occupation. The AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case for a new decision that first addresses the specialty occupation requirement before considering the beneficiary's qualifications.
