Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small mortgage brokerage firm, failed to prove the proffered position of human resources manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a position, especially in a small company. The petitioner did not establish that the duties were uniquely complex or that a degree requirement was common in the industry for similar roles.
