dismissed H-1B Case: Electrical And Lighting Supplies
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'account manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded, based on the Occupational Outlook Handbook and the evidence provided, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, nor is it a common requirement within the industry for similar roles.
