Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Food and Beverage Supervisor qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into such a position, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to prove that the position met any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
