Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a helicopter training academy, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'director of flight training' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement for the role, is common in the industry for similar positions, or that the duties are sufficiently complex to necessitate such a degree, failing to meet any of the four regulatory criteria.
