H-1B Dismissed — Market Research (2020): the appeal was dismissed due to significant inconsistencies
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to significant inconsistencies in the description of the proffered position. The petitioner described the role as both entry-level under supervision and, simultaneously, as a high-level general manager position with final discretionary authority. These contradictions prevented a determination of the actual job duties, making it impossible to establish that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
