Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of "computer programmer analyst" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the Director's finding that the job duties did not require an educational background commensurate with a specialty occupation. Specifically, the analysis under the first criterion, using the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, indicated that a bachelor's degree is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation of a computer programmer.
