The petitioner did not provide requested evidence of the beneficiary's foreign degree credentials in response to the Director's RFE, and the AAO declined to consider new evidence submitted for the first time on appeal. The AAO also noted that the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position itself qualifies as a specialty occupation.
