H-1B Dismissed — Floral Design (2016): did not establish the proffered position of community
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of community relations coordinator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner inconsistently stated the minimum educational requirements and that requiring a general degree, such as business administration, without demonstrating a direct correlation to highly specialized duties, was insufficient to meet the visa criteria.
