Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small convenience store, failed to establish that the proffered 'business manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the duties were not complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, noting that the small scale of the business (3 employees) did not support the need for such a specialized role.
