H-1B Dismissed — Sales Management (2020): did not establish the proffered position of "sales manager"

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of "sales manager" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, and its later addition of a general business administration degree requirement was deemed insufficient. The AAO found that the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) does not support the claim that a degree in a specific field is a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
