Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate the position's duties were so specialized and complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. An additional reason for the initial denial, though not fully detailed in the provided excerpt, was the failure to establish a valid employer-employee relationship.
