Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a 'start-up publishing company,' failed to establish that the proffered 'Art Director' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that the duties of the position required the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
