H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'engagement
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'engagement manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's requirement of a general bachelor's degree in 'engineering' was not sufficiently specialized, and they did not demonstrate a direct relationship between the required field of study and the job duties. Analysis of the position using the Department of Labor's resources did not support the claim that a degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
