Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that requiring a general-purpose bachelor's degree, such as in business or economics, is insufficient without demonstrating a direct correlation between a specific course of study and the position's duties. The Petitioner did not meet the burden of proof to show that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty.
