H-1B Dismissed — Restaurant Management (2017): did not establish the proffered 'sales manager' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'sales manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general bachelor's degree in business administration was insufficient, as a specialty occupation must require a degree in a specific field directly related to the job duties. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the regulatory criteria to prove the position's specialized nature.
