Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position of assistant program manager did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's acceptance of a bachelor's degree from a wide variety of fields—including psychology, sociology, social work, and education—was too broad to constitute a single, specific specialty. This wide range of acceptable degrees demonstrated that the position did not require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge.
