Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of assistant tennis coach qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Petitioner required a bachelor's degree but did not prove the position requires a degree in a specific specialty that is directly related to the job duties. The mere requirement of a general degree is insufficient to classify a position as a specialty occupation.
