H-1B Dismissed โ Fashion (2005): did not establish the proffered market research analyst
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small clothing company, failed to establish that the proffered market research analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found the petitioner's business operations lacked the organizational complexity to require a full-time, degreed professional in this role. The AAO agreed, concluding the position's duties did not necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
