Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a delicatessen and grocery business, failed to establish that the proffered 'quality assurance operations manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not describe the duties with sufficient detail to demonstrate they required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The evidence did not support the claim that the duties were equivalent to those of a food scientist or technologist, especially considering the nature of the petitioner's small business.
