Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a skilled nursing facility, failed to establish that the proposed position of 'activity director' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the minimum requirement for the position, either as a normal industry standard or due to the complexity of the specific duties.
