Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered Database Administrator position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is not the normal minimum requirement for the occupation, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. Furthermore, the petitioner's evidence, including expert opinion letters, was deemed insufficient to prove the position was complex enough or that an industry standard for a specific degree existed.
