Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed 'business development specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties were a combination of roles like budget analyst and market research analyst, which, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, do not require a bachelor's degree in a single, specific specialty. Since a wide range of degrees would be acceptable for entry into the occupation, the position does not meet the legal definition of a specialty occupation.
