Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a 'teacher (self-enrichment)' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the minimum requirement for the job, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates similar roles do not require such a degree.
