Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of 'visual and digital illustrator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not describe the duties with sufficient detail or establish that the job requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, distinguishing the role from the claimed occupational category of 'Commercial and Industrial Designer'.
