Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'Associate IP Licensing Analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields (accounting, finance, mathematics, international affairs, business administration) was too broad. This lack of a requirement for a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties meant the position did not meet the statutory definition.
