Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the executive director position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for the position, nor is it a common requirement in the industry for similar roles. The petitioner's evidence, such as job postings, did not demonstrate that a degree in a specific discipline was required, only that a general baccalaureate degree was often preferred.
