Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of a 'Pre-School Teacher' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the minimum requirement for the position. While an initial denial was also based on the beneficiary's maintenance of status, the AAO withdrew that ground as not relevant to the approvability of the petition itself.
