H-1B Dismissed — Technology Sales (2017): did not establish the proffered 'sales manager' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'sales manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general-purpose bachelor's degree in 'business, or a related field' was insufficient to meet the standard, which requires a degree in a specific specialty that is directly related to the position's duties.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For Position Degree Common To Industry Or Position Is Complex/Unique Employer Normally Requires Degree Duties Are Specialized And Complex
