dismissed H-1B Case: Automotive Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an importer and exporter of used cars, failed to establish that the proffered position of contract administrator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner provided only generalized job duties and did not demonstrate how the position was so complex or unique as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Submitted evidence, such as job postings from different industries, was not considered probative for establishing an industry-wide standard for a degree requirement.
