Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered graphic designer position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant discrepancies in the job description, including a conflict between the claimed independent nature of the work and the entry-level (Level I) wage designation. The petitioner's job description was also copied from a generic source (O*NET) and did not reflect the specific duties within the company.
