Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'marketing specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the role, as a variety of degrees are considered acceptable.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Normal Degree Requirement For Position Industry Standard Degree Requirement Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement Specialized And Complex Duties
