dismissed H-1B Case: Public Relations

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Public Relations

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of Public Relations Specialist qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the normal minimum requirement, common to the industry, or required by the employer historically. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the duties were sufficiently specialized or complex to necessitate a degree, and evidence submitted, such as job ads from different industries, was found to be irrelevant.
