Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'marketing associate' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's acceptance of a degree in a general 'business-related' field, rather than a specific specialty, was insufficient. Additionally, an analysis of the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook revealed that various disparate fields of study are acceptable for the occupation, undermining the claim that a degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum entry requirement.
