H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered 'digital marketing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'digital marketing engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for a computer systems analyst, as individuals with business or liberal arts degrees could also qualify for such roles.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Requirement Of A Baccalaureate Degree For The Particular Position (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1))
