Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a purchasing/inside sales agent qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for such a position, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner also failed to prove the degree requirement was an industry standard, that the position was uniquely complex, or that the company normally requires a degree for the role.
