H-1B Dismissed — International Freight Forwarding: did not establish the proffered position of 'sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'sales development manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the director, finding that the duties are similar to a general sales manager, a role which the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement.
