Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'business development specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's requirement for a general bachelor's degree in business administration was deemed insufficient, as the regulations require a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position. The AAO concluded that the described duties were not so specialized and complex as to necessitate a specialized degree.
