H-1B Dismissed — Public Relations (2003): did not establish the proffered position of public
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of public relations manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a wide range of educational backgrounds are suitable for such roles and that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
