Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'marketing research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the position did not meet the criterion that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the decision noted that the occupation accepts degrees from a wide variety of disparate fields, which undermines the requirement for knowledge in a specific specialty.
