Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Director concluded the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'business development manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO also highlighted significant inconsistencies in the offered salary, which was listed as $120,000 on the petition but only $66,000 in the employment agreement, a figure below the required prevailing wage.
