H-1B Dismissed — Dietary Supplements (2005): did not establish the proffered position of customer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of customer service supervisor qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties were a mix of general management and marketing, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence, such as job listings, was deemed insufficient to prove a degree requirement is common in the industry for similar positions.
