Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the 'training and development manager' position is a specialty occupation. The petitioner improperly changed the minimum educational requirement in response to an RFE, which is considered a material change. Additionally, the AAO found that the position does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, citing the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook which states that individuals in this role come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds, including general business degrees.
