H-1B Dismissed — Business Operations (2005): did not establish the proffered position of a part-time
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a part-time business operations analyst at a retirement home qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the duties to be general in nature, more akin to an office and administrative support manager, a role that does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria to classify the position as a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Degree Requirement Is Common To The Industry Employer Normally Requires A Degree For The Position The Nature Of The Specific Duties Is So Specialized And Complex
