H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2006): did not establish the proffered position of human resources
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of human resources manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director that the petitioner's small size and lack of organizational complexity meant the proposed duties were routine and did not necessitate a professional with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Requirement Is A Bachelor'S Degree Degree Is Common To The Industry Or The Position Is Complex/Unique Employer Normally Requires A Degree Duties Are Specialized And Complex
