H-1B Dismissed โ€” Human Services (2025): did not establish the proffered 'assistant program manager'

๐Ÿ“… 2025-01-21 ๐Ÿ‘ค Organization ๐Ÿ“‚ Human Services

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'assistant program manager' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a wide and disparate range of bachelor's degrees (psychology, sociology, social work, education, etc.) demonstrated that the position did not require a body of highly specialized knowledge from a single, specific specialty, as required by law.
