Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of assistant program manager qualified as a specialty occupation. The primary issue was the wide and disparate range of acceptable bachelor's degree fields (including psychology, social work, education, and others), which indicated that the position did not require a body of highly specialized knowledge in a specific specialty.
