H-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting (2020): did not establish the 'digital solutions sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the 'digital solutions sales representative' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found major inconsistencies in the petitioner's statements regarding the minimum degree requirements, which ranged from computer science to general business. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate a consistent requirement for a degree in a *specific* specialty, and failed to satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
