dismissed H-1B Case: Human Resources
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of personnel manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for the position, is not common in the industry, and the petitioner did not demonstrate that the duties were sufficiently specialized or complex to necessitate such a degree.
