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. While the AAO withdrew the Director's finding regarding sufficient work, it concurred that the position did not meet the criteria, specifically finding that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation of a computer programmer according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
