Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of an Oriental rug repairer qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, is common in the industry, or is normally required by the petitioner. Furthermore, the AAO determined that the beneficiary was not qualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation as they did not hold a relevant degree.
