H-1B Dismissed — Software Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered "product market manager"
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that the proffered "product market manager" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail and the record did not show that the job requires a degree in a specific specialty, noting that the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates various disparate fields of study are acceptable for similar roles.
