Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'market research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the evidence submitted on appeal, including an expert opinion letter and business contracts, was insufficient to demonstrate that the position's duties are so complex or specialized as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
Criteria Discussed
