H-1B Dismissed — Healthcare Management: did not establish the proffered 'Operations Manager'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a residential care facility for the elderly, failed to establish that the proffered 'Operations Manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position's duties are sufficiently complex or specialized to require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The AAO also noted that the job duties submitted in response to an RFE were copied verbatim from the O*NET occupational description, which undermined their credibility.
