Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of business office manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's requirement for a bachelor's degree in the broad, non-specific fields of "humanities or sciences" was not consistent with a position requiring a degree in a specific specialty, as per the H-1B regulations.
