The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'marketing and content creation analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation.

The Handbook indicates that individuals with degrees in other fields may enter the occupation with technical training, which does not necessarily equate to a specialized bachelor's degree.
