Decision Summary
The AAO found that the director erred in determining the proposed dental specialist position was not a specialty occupation, concluding the position's duties are those of a dentist, which normally requires a doctoral degree. However, the case was remanded because the record lacked evidence that the beneficiary was qualified and licensed to practice dentistry. The director was instructed to allow the petitioner to submit evidence on this issue.
