Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a shoe wholesaler and retailer, failed to establish that the proffered position of part-time contract administrator qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not prove that the position's duties were sufficiently complex or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty was a minimum requirement for the role, thus failing to meet any of the regulatory criteria.
