Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a part-time medical writer/researcher qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties described did not require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty, aligning more with a medical records technician than a medical scientist. The evidence provided was insufficient to prove that a degree is a normal industry requirement, that the petitioner normally requires a degree for the role, or that the duties are uniquely complex.
