H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2017): did not establish the proffered 'marketing manager'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'marketing manager' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The decision was based on numerous inconsistencies in the record regarding the position's minimum educational requirements, which were variously described as requiring a master's degree, a bachelor's degree, or only preferring a bachelor's degree. These contradictions, along with discrepancies in the company's size and the position's wage level, prevented the AAO from determining the true nature of the job and whether it required a degree in a specific specialty.
