H-1B Dismissed — Marketing: did not establish the proffered 'account manager' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'account manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, is common to the industry, or is required due to the complexity of the duties. The director also found the beneficiary was not qualified, and the AAO noted inconsistencies in the petitioner's evidence, which undermined its claims.
