Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed hotel manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO consulted the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that while postsecondary training in hotel management is preferred, a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.

Normal Degree Requirement For Position Degree Common To Industry/Position Is Complex Or Unique Employer Normally Requires A Degree Duties Are Specialized And Complex
