H-1B Dismissed — Hotel Management: did not establish the proffered position of motel manager
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of motel manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for this role, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, and found the duties were not so uniquely complex as to necessitate a degree.
