Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'market research analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner required a bachelor's degree in a wide range of disparate fields (marketing, computer science, engineering, business, etc.), which did not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty' closely related to the position's duties.
