H-1B Dismissed — Restaurant Management (2007): did not establish the proffered position of operations

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of operations manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for a food service manager. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the duties were uniquely complex or specialized enough to require a degree-holder.
