Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of strategic planning analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the duties, a mix of management analysis and marketing manager roles, did not rise to the level of a specialty occupation and failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria. The petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for this particular position.
