Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a legal assistant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into this occupation. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that its particular position was so complex or unique as to necessitate a degreed individual.
