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. The AAO found the described duties more closely resembled those of a marketing manager. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the position meets any of the four regulatory criteria, specifically that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the normal minimum requirement for entry.
