Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the proffered 'associate (management consultant)' position as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a broad range of degrees (such as Business, Law, Economics, and Engineering) rather than a degree in a specific specialty is incompatible with the statutory and regulatory requirements for an H-1B visa.
