Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the English teacher position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a minimum requirement for the role, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, industry job postings, and the petitioner's own hiring practices which showed employees with degrees in various, unrelated fields.
