Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily on a procedural basis. The petitioner failed to challenge one of the three independent grounds for denial issued by the Director—specifically, that the position's diverse degree requirements did not satisfy the definition of a specialty occupation. By not addressing this issue in the appeal, the petitioner was deemed to have abandoned it, which alone was a sufficient basis to affirm the denial.
