Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of restaurant general manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the director's finding that the position does not meet the regulatory criteria, noting that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not a normal requirement for food service managers according to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook.
