dismissed H-1B Case: Aviation Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'finance director' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general bachelor's degree in business administration, without further specification, is insufficient to establish the need for a body of highly specialized knowledge. The petitioner did not prove that the specific duties of the position were so complex or specialized that they required a degree in a specific specialty.
