H-1B Dismissed — Beauty Services (2005): did not establish the proffered position of Operations
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a company providing beauty services and products, failed to establish that the proffered position of Operations Manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria, finding that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for the position and that the duties were not proven to be so specialized or complex as to require such a degree.
