Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'technical account representative' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the position. The Handbook indicated that various general degrees, such as business or liberal arts, could be sufficient, which undermines the claim that a highly specialized degree is required.
