H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2019): did not establish the proffered position qualified as a

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's acceptance of degrees from a wide range of fields, such as business administration and engineering, contradicts the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty.' Furthermore, the record did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria, specifically failing to show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position.
