H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2006): did not establish the proffered position of 'promotions
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'promotions manager' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for such a role, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence, including job ads from dissimilar industries, was found insufficient to prove an industry standard or that the position's duties were complex enough to require a degree.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Requirement For The Position Common To The Industry Or Position Is Complex/Unique Employer Normally Requires A Degree Duties Are Specialized And Complex
