H-1B Dismissed — Pharmaceuticals (2016): did not establish the proffered position of 'production
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'production supervisor' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner provided an insufficient explanation of why the duties require an educational background commensurate with a specialty occupation, meaning the duties were not proven to be so specialized and complex that they require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
Criteria Discussed
