Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Senior Business Development Specialist (Market Research Analyst) qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the Director's finding that the evidence did not demonstrate that the position's duties require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a minimum requirement for entry into the role.
