H-1B Remanded — Market Research (2020): the Administrative Appeals Office could not determine if
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Administrative Appeals Office could not determine if the position qualified as a specialty occupation. There was a significant discrepancy between the job duties, which appeared to be managerial, and the 'Market Research Analyst' SOC code listed on the Labor Condition Application (LCA). The case was sent back to the Director to resolve the LCA issue before a final decision could be made.
