H-1B Remanded — Pharmacy (2020): the Director's initial decision was deemed insufficient for

Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial decision was deemed insufficient for review. The AAO instructed the Director to first determine if the petitioner's Labor Condition Application (LCA) was filed for the correct occupational category, as there was a discrepancy between the job duties of a 'regulatory and compliance analyst' and the selected 'Pharmacist' SOC code. Only after resolving the LCA issue can the Director properly determine if the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
