H-1B Dismissed — Diamond Wholesale (2005): did not establish the proposed position of 'buyer'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of 'buyer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner improperly attempted to add new duties on appeal and that the position as originally described did not require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
