H-1B Dismissed — Mobile Game Development (2020): did not establish the proffered 'associate product manager'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered 'associate product manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the position did not meet the criterion requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as the normal minimum for entry. The decision referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that the related occupation of Market Research Analyst accepts degrees from a wide variety of disparate fields, rather than a specific specialty.
