Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position of 'habilitation specialist' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's acceptance of a wide and disparate range of bachelor's degree fields (psychology, sociology, social work, education, or a closely related human services field) was too broad to establish that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty.
Criteria Discussed
