Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small lighting manufacturer, failed to establish that the proffered Human Resources Manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's small size and inconsistencies in the evidence, such as the actual number of employees, did not support the claim that the position's duties were complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
