Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a law firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of a 'technical publications writer/researcher' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria, such as proving that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position or that the duties are sufficiently complex to necessitate such a degree.
