Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'habilitation specialist' position is a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a bachelor's degree from a wide and disparate range of fields (psychology, sociology, social work, education, and other human services fields) precluded it from meeting the statutory requirement that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty.
