Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed marketing manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the field, as experience is often sufficient. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that a degree requirement is common in the industry for parallel positions.
