Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of Assistant Director of International Trade qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties resembled those of a marketing manager or purchasing agent, positions which do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty for entry. Therefore, the petitioner failed to meet the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
