Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of marketing manager is a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for the occupation, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner also failed to prove that a degree requirement is common to the industry or that the company itself normally requires a degree for the position.
