H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2019): did not establish the proffered position of "human

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of "human resources specialist" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position. While a degree in human resources, business, or a related field was suggested, the acceptance of a generalized business degree does not satisfy the requirement for a degree in a specific, specialized field of study directly related to the position's duties.
