Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a deli and butcher shop, failed to establish that the proffered 'food service manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner provided an insufficient explanation of why the described duties required an educational background commensurate with a specialty occupation, such as a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
