Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'market research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's listed degree requirements, such as business administration, were too broad and did not demonstrate the need for a specific course of study directly related to the position's duties. Consequently, the petitioner did not prove that the position required the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge.
