H-1B Dismissed — Pharmaceuticals (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'quality
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'quality control systems manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner provided inconsistent information regarding the job duties between the initial filing and the RFE response, which called into question the substantive nature of the work. As a result, the record did not sufficiently demonstrate that the position's duties require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty.
