H-1B Dismissed — Video Production (2020): did not establish the proffered 'producer' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'producer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, as the Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that producers can hold degrees in various disparate fields. Additionally, the AAO found that the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail to prove they require a specialty degree.
