Dismissed H-1B

H-1B Dismissed — Public Relations (2020): did not establish new evidence establishing the proffered

📅 2020-03-04 👤 Organization 📂 Public Relations

Decision Summary

The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide new evidence establishing the proffered 'public relations specialist' position as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the new documents, including a Public Relations Plan, did not demonstrate that the position's duties were sufficiently complex or specialized to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The decision noted that duties such as greeting visitors and playing music between classes did not support the specialty occupation claim.
