Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a dental office, failed to establish that the proffered position of an Administrator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for such a position in a small dental office, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner also failed to prove that the duties were uniquely complex or that a degree was a common industry standard for similar roles.
