H-1B Dismissed — Hotel Management (2016): did not establish the proffered 'general manager' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'general manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, particularly in the context of its small, five-employee operation, and failed to demonstrate that the job duties genuinely require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
