H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2006): did not establish the proposed position of human resources

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of human resources specialist qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, by referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into the field, as individuals with a variety of educational backgrounds are often hired. Therefore, the position did not meet the regulatory criteria.
