H-1B Dismissed — Pharmaceutical Research (2015): did not establish the proffered 'Business Development

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a one-employee research and development company, failed to establish that the proffered 'Business Development Manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director's finding that the evidence did not demonstrate that the duties of the position required the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific field was a minimum requirement for the role.
