Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'administrative manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties—such as organizing office operations, maintaining records, and assisting with personnel policies—did not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, which is a core requirement for the H-1B classification.
