H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2024): did not establish the proffered position of 'Licensing and
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'Licensing and Product Development Coordinator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's evidence, including its response to the RFE and industry job postings, indicated that a general bachelor's degree in business administration would be acceptable. This contradicted the petitioner's claim on appeal that a specific degree combining both business and fashion was required, thus failing to prove the position necessitates a degree in a specific specialty.
