H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered 'IT project manager'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'IT project manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is normally the minimum requirement for the particular position, in part because the petitioner relied on an occupational category in the DOL's Handbook that did not match the one designated on the Labor Condition Application.
