Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'legal compliance and document analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The primary reason was the failure to demonstrate that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty; the end-client's requirement for a 'relevant' bachelor's degree was deemed too general. The AAO found that a general-purpose degree requirement does not justify classification as a specialty occupation.
