H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2005): did not establish the proposed position for a computer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position for a computer systems analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties more closely resembled those of a database administrator, and concluded that, based on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, neither position normally requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum for entry.
