H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2006): did not establish the proposed position of marketing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of marketing manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria, such as demonstrating that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is a normal requirement for the position. The AAO also declined to consider duties that were newly described on appeal, as they constituted a material change to the position originally offered.
