Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'management analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the duties more closely resembled a mix of marketing, sales, and general management roles, which, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. Evidence submitted by the petitioner, including letters from other businesses and job postings, was found insufficient to prove an industry-wide degree requirement or the unique complexity of the position.
