H-1B Sustained — Marketing (2006): the AAO re-characterized the proffered 'marketing manager'
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO re-characterized the proffered 'marketing manager' position as a 'market research analyst' based on the job duties. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined that a bachelor's degree or higher is a normal minimum requirement for a market research analyst, thereby satisfying the criteria for a specialty occupation.
