H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2005): did not establish the proffered marketing manager position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered marketing manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, based on the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that the position does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, as a wide range of degrees are acceptable and many managers are promoted based on experience rather than a specific educational background.
