H-1B Dismissed — Public Relations (2016): 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 specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant discrepancies between the job title and the actual duties described, which included teaching, academic coordination, and translation, making the true nature of the position unclear. Consequently, the petitioner could not demonstrate that the position's duties were sufficiently detailed, complex, or specialized to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
