Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of purchasing director qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, as educational requirements vary widely with the size of the organization and many individuals enter the field without a degree.
