Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a specialty occupation position with sufficient work existed at the time of filing, providing inadequate evidence of its claimed in-house project. Additionally, the petitioner undermined its own claim by initially asserting that a general degree, such as business administration, was an acceptable qualification, which is inconsistent with the requirement for a degree in a specific specialty.
