H-1B Dismissed — Hotel Management (2021): did not establish the 'hotel general manager' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the 'hotel general manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant credibility issues due to inconsistencies in the record, such as the petitioner providing four different versions of the job duties and changing the minimum degree requirements after receiving a Request for Evidence. Ultimately, the petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria required to establish the position as a specialty occupation.
