Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'international student advisor' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent documentation regarding the minimum educational requirements, with some job descriptions not listing a degree requirement and others allowing for a combination of education and experience. This failure to unequivocally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum for the position led the AAO to conclude that none of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation had been met.
