Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Public Relations Specialist/Marketing qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the minimum requirement for entry, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates a wide range of educational backgrounds are suitable. The petitioner did not prove that the duties were uniquely complex or that a specific degree was a common industry requirement for similar roles.
