H-1B Dismissed — Human Resources (2024): did not establish the proffered Human Resources Specialist

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered Human Resources Specialist position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent information regarding the minimum degree requirements and relied on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which allows for a general business degree. A general degree, without further specialization, does not satisfy the H-1B requirement for a degree in a specific specialty.
