Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered position of 'product and business development manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a role, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Evidence provided by the petitioner, including letters from similar companies, was deemed insufficient to prove the position's complexity or an industry-wide degree requirement.
