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 that the duties described did not require the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in a specific specialty, a core requirement for the H-1B classification. The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
