Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, concluding the proffered position was a sales representative and not a specialty occupation. The petitioner successfully appealed by arguing the position was that of a marketing analyst. The AAO agreed, finding that the duties described correspond to a market research analyst, a position which the Occupational Outlook Handbook confirms requires at least a bachelor's degree, thereby meeting the specialty occupation criteria.
