H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology Consulting (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'marketing

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'marketing manager & research analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's requirement of a general business administration degree was insufficient, as it did not necessitate a specific course of study directly related to the position's duties. Additionally, analysis of the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook did not support the claim that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for market research analyst positions.
