Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, as the submitted credential evaluation improperly combined education and work experience. Beyond the initial denial, the AAO also found that the petitioner failed to prove that the store manager position itself qualifies as a specialty occupation, noting that a bachelor's degree is not a standard minimum requirement for entry into such a role.
