dismissed H-1B Case: Travel Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'operations manager' position is a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO concluded that the duties resembled those of a travel agent or bookkeeper, occupations which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria to qualify the position.
