H-1B Dismissed — Graphic Design (2016): did not establish the proffered graphic designer position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered graphic designer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the description of the job duties lacked sufficient detail and was inconsistent across submissions. The petitioner did not establish that the duties were specialized or complex enough to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
