Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'manager of operations' for a water massage kiosk business qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with a sales manager role, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner did not establish that the position was sufficiently complex or unique to necessitate a degree-holder, failing to meet any of the regulatory criteria.
