Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the position of university textbook manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that similar positions, like market research analyst, do not require a degree in a specific specialty, but rather accept a range of degrees. Because a degree in a specific field is not the minimum requirement for entry, the position does not meet the legal definition of a specialty occupation.
