Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a general bachelor's degree in business administration, without a specific specialization, was too broad and did not meet the statutory requirement for a 'body of highly specialized knowledge' associated with a specific specialty.
