dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Computer Application Administrator qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The petitioner did not prove the position met any of the regulatory criteria, such as an industry-wide degree requirement or sufficient complexity.
