H-1B Dismissed — Food Service (2006): did not establish the proposed position of food services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a donut shop, failed to demonstrate that the proposed position of food services manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is not a normal minimum requirement for the role and that the petitioner did not establish that the specific duties were so complex or unique as to require a degree.
