Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO noted a significant discrepancy between the job classification on the Labor Condition Application (LCA), which was for a lower-paying 'Sales Representative,' and the position argued in the appeal, a 'Market Research Analyst.' This inconsistency, along with conflicting statements about degree requirements, undermined the claim that the position's duties were complex enough to require a specific bachelor's degree.
