dismissed H-1B Case: Food Service
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a food court/market, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'training and development specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the job duties were sufficiently complex or specialized to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum requirement for entry.
