Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate it was exempt from the H-1B cap and associated fees, as it did not prove a sufficient working relationship with an institution of higher education. Furthermore, the 'habilitation specialist' position did not qualify as a specialty occupation because the acceptance of degrees from a wide variety of unrelated fields indicated that a degree in a specific specialty was not required for the role.
