H-1B Dismissed — Retail (2016): did not establish the proffered position of 'administrative

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'administrative services manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's requirement for a general degree in business, economics, or management was insufficient, as a specialty occupation requires a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties. The role's varied duties were not demonstrated to be so specialized or complex as to necessitate a specific bachelor's degree.
