H-1B Dismissed — Fashion (2016): did not establish the proffered position of 'fashion

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'fashion merchandising & marketing specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The core issue was whether the position requires a bachelor's or higher degree in a specific specialty, or its equivalent, as a minimum for entry into the occupation. The decision indicates the petitioner did not successfully meet the regulatory criteria to prove the position was a specialty occupation.
