The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a medical facility and spa, failed to establish that the proffered position of Market Research Analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate the organizational complexity to require such a role, nor that the duties were so specialized and complex as to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
