Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a used car dealer, failed to establish that the proffered "marketing specialist" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates that such positions can be filled by individuals with degrees in various disparate fields. The decision also noted that the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail.
