Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'program manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is normally the minimum requirement for the position, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a variety of educational backgrounds are acceptable for similar roles.
