Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a law firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of "Administrative Assistant" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not prove that the role requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum for entry. The AAO also noted an issue with the petitioner's choice of occupational classification on the Labor Condition Application (LCA).
