H-1B Dismissed — Graphic Design (2020): did not establish the proffered graphic designer position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered graphic designer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates that individuals with degrees in other fields plus technical training could also qualify.
