H-1B Dismissed — Travel Management: did not establish the proffered 'operations manager'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'operations manager' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the duties were a combination of a travel agent and bookkeeper, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, and the petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria.
