Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered Program Manager position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the Director's finding that the acceptable range of bachelor's degrees (psychology, sociology, social work, education, or a related field) was too wide and disparate, failing to demonstrate the requirement of a degree in a specific specialty.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Industry Standard Degree Requirement Or Unique/Complex Position Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Specialized And Complex Duties Requiring A Degree
