Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the particular position, finding evidence from the Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET unpersuasive.
