Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'copy and newsletter writer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO consulted the Occupational Outlook Handbook and determined that the duties were a combination of a marketing manager and a copywriter, neither of which requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement. Thus, the petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
