Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered 'marketing research analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director and the AAO concluded that the evidence did not establish that the position's duties are so complex or specialized as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The analysis referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a degree in various fields, not just one specific specialty, is typical for market research analysts, thus failing to meet the regulatory standard.
