Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the position's duties, despite its title of 'sales manager', more closely matched those of a 'sales representative, wholesale and manufacturing,' which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The decision also noted that the beneficiary's degree in international studies was not in a specific specialty directly related to the position.
