H-1B Sustained — Industrial Production Management (2019): the initial denial was based on the position not qualifying
Decision Summary
The initial denial was based on the position not qualifying as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the specific duties of the general manager position were uniquely complex and specialized within the context of its business, thus requiring the knowledge associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
Criteria Discussed
Position Complexity/Uniqueness (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(2)) Specialized And Complex Duties (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(4))
