Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Market Research Analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director that the duties described were not sufficiently complex or specialized to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field for this particular small investment business. The petitioner's initial failure to specify any academic requirements weakened its later claim that an MBA was necessary.
