H-1B Dismissed — Operations Research (2019): did not establish the proffered position of 'senior product

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'senior product associate' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, as the role is multidisciplinary and accepts degrees in various quantitative fields.
