Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'general (industrial) production manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the decision noted that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The Handbook indicates that the required degree can be in various fields, and sometimes experienced workers can become managers without a specific degree, thus failing to meet the regulatory criteria.
