dismissed H-1B Case: Sales

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Sales

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'account manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into such a role, as a wide range of degrees are suitable. The petitioner also failed to prove that a specific degree requirement is common in the industry or that the company itself normally requires a specific degree for the position.

Criteria Discussed
