H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2005): did not establish the proffered position of Human Resources
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Human Resources Manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a role, as various educational backgrounds are acceptable. The petitioner also failed to provide evidence showing a specific degree requirement is common to the industry, that the company normally requires a degree for the position, or that the duties are uniquely complex.
