dismissed H-1B Case: Customs Brokerage
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a customs brokerage firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'business operations specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree is a normal minimum requirement for the position, common to the industry, or that the duties are sufficiently complex to necessitate such a degree.
