Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the assistant manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a role, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence, including job ads that did not require a specific degree discipline and an unsubstantiated expert opinion, was insufficient to prove the position met the regulatory criteria.
