H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2020): the proffered position of 'senior retail shopper marketing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position of 'senior retail shopper marketing manager' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The primary reason was that the petitioner's stated minimum educational requirement, a bachelor's degree in Business Administration or a closely related field, was too general. The AAO found that a specialty occupation requires a degree in a specific specialty, and a general-purpose business degree is insufficient to meet this standard.
Criteria Discussed
