Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of Marketing Manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, is common in the industry, or is required due to the complexity of the duties. The evidence provided, including references to the DOL's O*Net and job advertisements, was deemed unpersuasive.
