Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'program manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner's stated minimum educational requirement, which allowed for a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields (e.g., computer science, business, finance, engineering), did not prove the position requires a degree in a 'specific specialty' as mandated by the statute.
