H-1B Dismissed — Food Service (2006): did not establish the proffered position of catering and

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of catering and concessions manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is normally the minimum requirement for the position, is common in the industry, or is necessitated by the complexity of the duties. The decision referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a specific degree is not a standard requirement for food service managers.
