H-1B Remanded — Education: the AAO found that the beneficiary was qualified to perform
Decision Summary
The AAO found that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation, overturning the director's finding. The decision was based on an acceptable expert evaluation that equated the beneficiary's education and experience to a U.S. bachelor's degree. However, the case was remanded because the director had not made a finding on whether the proffered position of a private preschool/kindergarten teacher itself qualifies as a specialty occupation, which requires further review.
