H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2020): did not establish the proffered position of a bilingual

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a bilingual marketing specialist qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's acceptable degree requirement of a general business administration degree was not specialized enough. Additionally, 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 entry into the occupation.
