Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's initial requirement for a degree in disparate fields (public relations, communications, languages) was too broad, and their attempt to narrow the requirement after the RFE was considered an impermissible material change, as eligibility must be established at the time of filing.
