The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new business, failed to prove that the proffered position of 'researcher in social management' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the description of duties to be abstract and unclear, and the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to establish that the position requires a bachelor's degree, is common to the industry, or has specialized and complex duties associated with a degree.
