remanded H-1B Case: Chiropractic Medicine
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the beneficiary, as a graduate of a foreign medical school, was ineligible for H-1B classification. The AAO withdrew this decision, reasoning that the restriction applies only to roles within the medical profession requiring a medical degree, which the proposed chiropractic research position does not. The case was remanded for the director to determine if the position qualifies as a specialty occupation and if the beneficiary is qualified for its duties.
