Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of computer systems analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties more closely resembled those of a database administrator and that, based on the Occupational Outlook Handbook, a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into either occupation.
