Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'music assistant/administrative assistant' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the position's duties did not require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, as supported by the Occupational Outlook Handbook, and that the petitioner did not prove it met any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
