Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed market research analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, concluded that the field of market research does not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, but rather accepts a range of degrees. Because a degree in a specific, specialized field is a core requirement for a specialty occupation, the petition was denied.
