Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'computer systems engineer' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concurred with the director, finding that the duties described were more aligned with those of computer support specialists and systems administrators, occupations which do not consistently require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position was sufficiently complex or that a degree requirement was normal for the role, thus failing to meet the regulatory criteria.
