H-1B Dismissed — Retail Management (2006): did not establish the proffered position of General Manager
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a gas station/convenience store, failed to establish that the proffered position of General Manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the duties described were more aligned with those of a sales worker supervisor, an occupation for which a bachelor's degree is not a normal minimum entry requirement, and found none of the four regulatory criteria were met.
