H-1B Dismissed — Marine Equipment Sales: did not establish the proffered general manager position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered general manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that none of the four regulatory criteria were met, as the petitioner did not show that a bachelor's degree is a normal minimum requirement for the position, is common to the industry, is a normal requirement for the petitioner, or that the duties are specialized enough to require such a degree.
