Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'senior designer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail to demonstrate their complexity, nor did it establish that the job duties require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, a key requirement for H-1B classification.
