Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'project manager/international consultant' qualified as a specialty occupation. The director determined the role's duties were more akin to a promotions manager, which does not require a specific bachelor's degree, and the AAO concurred that none of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation had been met.
