Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'habilitation specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the acceptable range of bachelor's degrees was too wide and disparate (including psychology, sociology, social work, education, and other human services fields) and did not constitute a single body of highly specialized knowledge from a specific specialty as required by law.
