Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a chiropractor assistant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties of the position are similar to those of medical assistants or physical therapist assistants, which according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, do not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria, such as showing a degree is a normal industry requirement or that the specific duties are uniquely complex.
