Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meaningfully challenge one of the two independent grounds for denial from the original decision. The petitioner did not sufficiently argue that the position met the statutory definition of a specialty occupation, thereby abandoning that line of argument and leaving the denial to stand.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Definition 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)
