H-1B Dismissed — Communications (2020): did not establish the proffered 'communications specialist'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'communications specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the role, as described, does not require a degree in a specific specialty, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a wide variety of degrees are acceptable for similar positions.
