Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of dental lab technologist qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, is not common in the industry, and the duties were not proven to be so complex as to necessitate a degree.
