H-1B Dismissed — International Trade (2006): did not establish the proposed position of Assistant

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of Assistant Director of International Trade qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties resembled those of a marketing manager or purchasing agent, positions which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty for entry. Therefore, the petitioner failed to meet the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
