Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'stores manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates that such positions in retail do not consistently require a degree.
