Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'assistant program manager' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the wide and diverse range of acceptable bachelor's degrees (including psychology, sociology, social work, education, and other human services fields) did not constitute a 'specific specialty' as required by law.
