H-1B Dismissed — Agribusiness (2016): did not establish the proffered position of Operations
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of Operations Manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant discrepancies between the petitioner's stated number of employees and their tax records, which cast doubt on whether the beneficiary would actually be performing high-level managerial duties as described, rather than non-qualifying operational tasks.
