H-1B Dismissed — Retail Management (2005): did not establish the proffered position of 'operations

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'operations manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director's finding that the duties were more aligned with a general manager, a role that does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty for entry. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria to define the position as a specialty occupation.
