H-1B Dismissed — Equine Science (2016): did not establish the proffered "barn manager" position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "barn manager" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which suggests a degree is not normally required for similar roles.
