H-1B Dismissed — Social Services (2024): did not establish the proffered program manager position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered program manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's acceptance of a bachelor's degree from a wide and disparate range of fields (including psychology, sociology, and social work) prevents the position from meeting the statutory and regulatory requirement of having a degree in a specific specialty.
