Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a convenience store/gas station, failed to demonstrate that the proffered business manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the duties were an amalgam of a marketing manager and a financial clerk, roles which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, especially given the small scale of the petitioner's operations. The evidence did not establish that the position was complex enough to necessitate a degreed professional.
