dismissed H-1B Case: Dietary Supplements
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of customer service supervisor qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, as the duties were more aligned with general management. The petitioner's evidence, such as job listings, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate that a specific degree is a common industry standard for similar positions.
