Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'HR Associate' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the duties described did not demonstrate a consistent requirement for a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, especially as the petitioner classified the position under an SOC code for Human Resources Assistants, which is often an entry-level role.
