Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the investment analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner required a general bachelor's degree in fields like Finance, Accounting, or Business, which the AAO found was not specific enough to meet the requirement for a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties. The decision concluded that the petitioner failed to satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
