Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'purchasing agent' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO found that not all purchasing agent positions require a bachelor's degree, as a high school diploma can be sufficient. The petitioner did not establish that the duties of this specific position were so specialized or complex as to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
