dismissed H-1B Case: Retail Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of branch operations evaluation manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the normal minimum requirement for the position, is common in the industry, or that the duties are sufficiently specialized and complex to necessitate such a degree.
