Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of Market Research Analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. While the AAO disagreed with the director's reasoning that the petitioner's business lacked the complexity for such a role, it ultimately concurred that the position did not meet the regulatory criteria. The decision relied on the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the universal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
