Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the 'energy markets manager' position is a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's stated minimum requirement of a master's degree in business administration was too general and did not establish the need for a degree in a specific specialty. Additionally, an analysis using the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook for a similar role did not support the claim that a specific bachelor's degree is a normal minimum requirement for entry.
