Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a Computer Information System (CIS) specialist qualified as a specialty occupation. The director, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, concluded the role was more akin to a computer support specialist, which does not typically require a bachelor's degree. The AAO concurred, finding the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position met any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
