H-1B Dismissed — Food Retail (2016): did not establish the proffered 'purchasing manager'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'purchasing manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's requirement of a general-purpose bachelor's degree, such as in business administration, was insufficient to prove the position required a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the duties. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria to establish the position as a specialty occupation.
