H-1B Dismissed — Recyclable Material Wholesale (2016): did not establish the proffered position as a specialty
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the proffered position as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's stated educational requirement of a bachelor's degree in broad fields such as business, business administration, or 'the sciences' was not sufficiently specialized. A specialty occupation requires a degree in a specific field of study directly related to the position's duties, which the petitioner did not demonstrate.
