H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2006): did not establish the proffered position of marketing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of marketing analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. Although the AAO disagreed with the director's finding that the petitioner's business was not the type to hire such an analyst, it ultimately concurred that the described duties did not align with those of a professional market research analyst and did not demonstrate the requirement of a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
