Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided a generic job description, copied from an online source, which did not sufficiently detail the specific duties the beneficiary would perform. Subsequent, more detailed descriptions contained inconsistencies, ultimately failing to prove that the position's duties are complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
