Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'statistical analyst/programmer I' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not provide sufficient detail about the job duties and that the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that computer programmer positions do not categorically require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, as some employers hire individuals with an associate's degree or relevant experience.
