H-1B Dismissed โ€” Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'vice president

๐Ÿ“… 2020-01-22 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Technology

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'vice president - strategy and business' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the wide range of acceptable degrees (Business, Management, Economics, etc.) did not meet the requirement for a degree in a specific specialty. Additionally, the decision noted discrepancies in the job duties, such as copied descriptions from O*NET and inapplicable tasks, which undermined the credibility of the petitioner's claims.
