Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'consultant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail and the record did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the role, noting that the cited DOL resources were not probative.
Criteria Discussed
8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1) - Normal Minimum Requirement Of A Bachelor'S Degree
