H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2006): did not establish the proffered position of human resources
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small mortgage brokerage firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of human resources manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a position in a small company, and the petitioner did not prove the duties were uniquely complex or that a degree was an industry standard for similar positions.
