Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed social worker position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the duties more closely resembled those of a social and human service assistant, which does not require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner's own prior statement that the position required only an associate's degree or a high school diploma with experience contradicted its current claim that a bachelor's degree was required.
