Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of business operations analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general bachelor's degree in business administration, without further specialization, does not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties. This failure to meet the fundamental definition of a specialty occupation was sufficient to dismiss the appeal.
