dismissed H-1B Case: Business Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a gasoline and convenience store, failed to establish that the proffered position of business management analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the duties were more aligned with a general/operations manager, a position that does not consistently require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner did not prove that such a degree was a normal industry requirement for similar businesses or that the duties were sufficiently specialized or complex.
