H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'computer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'computer systems analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a bachelor's degree in a specific computer-related field is not always a requirement for this occupation. An expert opinion letter submitted by the petitioner was found to be unpersuasive as it was not sufficiently detailed or substantiated.
Criteria Discussed
A Baccalaureate Or Higher Degree Or Its Equivalent Is Normally The Minimum Requirement For Entry Into The Particular Position
