Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'director of business development' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not consistently articulate a specific degree requirement for the role, providing varying requirements such as a general business degree, or a degree in fields like sales, marketing, finance, or engineering, which failed to show that a degree in a *specific* specialty is the minimum for entry into the position.
