Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' is a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the required educational background was not specific enough, as the petitioner and its end-client indicated that a degree in various fields, including the general field of business administration, would be acceptable. This failure to require a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties was the primary reason for the denial.
