Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'Assistant Men's Golf Coach' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director and the AAO concluded that the evidence did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, despite the petitioner's arguments regarding the complexity of the duties.
