H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2005): did not establish the proffered position of Account Manager

The AAO determined that the position did not meet the regulatory criteria, noting that the Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into a marketing manager role.
