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 concluded that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for such a role, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner did not successfully prove the position was uniquely complex or that a degree was a standard industry requirement for parallel positions.
