Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'devops engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent and overly broad educational requirements, including disparate fields like commerce, economics, and business administration. The AAO determined that requiring a general-purpose degree or a wide variety of unrelated degrees does not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty' that is directly related to the position's duties.
