H-1B Dismissed — Business Development (2016): the Director concluded the petitioner did not establish
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director concluded the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'business development manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO also highlighted significant inconsistencies in the offered salary, which was listed as $120,000 on the petition but only $66,000 in the employment agreement, a figure below the required prevailing wage.
