Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'assistant program manager' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the wide variety of acceptable degree fields, including psychology, sociology, social work, and education, was too broad and did not demonstrate a requirement for a body of highly specialized knowledge in a specific specialty.
