H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2006): did not establish the proposed position of computer systems
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.
