Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'business development specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation and abandoned this argument on appeal. The AAO also found that the submitted Labor Condition Application (LCA) did not correspond with the petition, as its Level I prevailing wage was inconsistent with the position's stated minimum requirement of a Master's degree.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Definition Regulatory Criteria (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)) Labor Condition Application (Lca) Correspondence
