Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the 'hotel manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found, by consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. Furthermore, the evidence submitted, including an expert opinion letter and job advertisements, was insufficient to establish that a degree requirement is common to the industry for similar positions.
