Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of market research analyst qualified as a specialty occupation. The director and AAO found the duties were not sufficiently specialized or complex for the petitioner's business, and the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific field was a minimum requirement. The AAO also rejected the argument that prior approvals were binding, stating they may have been approved in error.
