H-1B Dismissed — Marketing (2006): did not establish the proffered position of a marketing

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a telemarketing company, failed to establish that the proffered position of a marketing manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO consulted the Occupational Outlook Handbook and determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into such a position. The petitioner provided no evidence to support its claims that a degree is common in the industry or that the duties were sufficiently specialized and complex to necessitate a degree.
