H-1B Dismissed — Business Management (2021): did not establish the proffered 'business program manager'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business program manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general bachelor's degree in business administration or finance was too broad and did not prove the position requires a 'body of highly specialized knowledge' or a degree in a 'specific specialty' as mandated by the statute.
