Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'senior executive immigration paralegal' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's stated minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in 'English, Paralegal Studies, a directly related field, or the equivalent' was too broad and not a degree in a specific specialty. Furthermore, the duties described were not proven to be so specialized and complex that they would require knowledge usually associated with a specific baccalaureate degree.
