H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2004): did not establish the proffered position of Human Resource
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small fast-food restaurant business, failed to establish that the proffered position of Human Resource Director qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the role, common in the industry for similar organizations, or required due to the complexity of the duties for a 12-employee company.
