H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered 'associate sales

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered 'associate sales consultant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which suggests that individuals with degrees in various fields or even those without a degree but with relevant experience could qualify for similar sales engineer roles.
