Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'early childhood creative programs director' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the petitioner did not show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position. Citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook for 'Training and Development Specialists', the AAO noted that the role accepts degrees from a variety of backgrounds, not a single specific specialty as required by H-1B regulations.
