H-1B Dismissed — Public Relations (2007): 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 determined, based on the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The petitioner also failed to prove that a specific degree requirement is common in the industry or that the specific duties of the position were uniquely complex.
