Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of cost analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not uniformly required for cost estimator positions, and the wide range of acceptable degrees (e.g., business, finance, engineering) undermines the requirement for a degree in a specific specialty.
