Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a financial news publisher, failed to establish that the proffered 'technical sales specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the position did not meet the criterion of normally requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook for similar sales roles. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that its financial products were 'scientific and technical' or that the duties were so complex as to necessitate a specialized degree.
