Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered market research analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's degree requirement of a bachelor's in business administration, marketing, or a related field was too general and did not constitute a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position. The evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not support the claim that a specific baccalaureate degree is the normal minimum requirement for entry into this particular position.
