H-1B Dismissed — Real Estate: did not establish the proffered position of real estate
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of real estate manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. Relying on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the director determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The petitioner did not successfully argue that the position was uniquely complex, that a degree was an industry standard, or that the company normally required a degree for the role.
