Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner required a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields such as computer science, engineering, business, finance, and economics, which did not establish the need for a specific body of highly specialized knowledge as required by regulation.
