H-1B Dismissed — Home Health Care (2017): did not establish the proffered "operations manager"
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "operations manager" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the record did not show that the job duties require a degree in a specific specialty, noting that a general business administration degree is often insufficient to meet the standard.
