Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'associate consultant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties were not described with sufficient detail and, citing the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook, concluded that a bachelor's degree in a single specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for the role of an operations research analyst, as various degrees are acceptable.
