dismissed H-1B Case: Vocational Training
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'training and development specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not specify a required degree in a narrow specialty, noting that a general business administration degree would suffice, which is insufficient. Furthermore, the evidence indicated the petitioner was not operational at the time of filing, casting doubt on its ability to provide specialty occupation work.
