Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's acceptance of a bachelor's degree from a wide and disparate range of fields, including psychology, sociology, social work, and education, demonstrated that the position did not require a degree in a specific specialty as mandated by the statute.
