Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered position of 'senior computer network specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into this occupation, as many employers accept an associate's degree. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the specific duties of its particular position were complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
