dismissed H-1B Case: Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation under any of the regulatory criteria. The AAO determined that the duties of the 'accounting executive,' which were primarily marketing-related, did not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, nor was this a common requirement in the industry. The evidence submitted, such as job postings, was found to be irrelevant as it did not demonstrate that similar companies require a degree for parallel positions.
