Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the position of dental laboratory technical manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the role was analogous to a dental technician with supervisory duties, an occupation that does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to prove that a degree is a minimum entry requirement or a common industry standard for such a position.
