H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2024): the proffered position of 'creative operations associate'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position of 'creative operations associate' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a general bachelor's degree in business administration, without a specific specialization, was too broad to meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty'. This failure to require a specialized degree meant the position did not meet the definition of a specialty occupation.
