Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the 'systems analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, citing the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook which notes various educational paths. Additionally, the petitioner did not show that the specific duties were sufficiently complex or that the wage level corresponded to a position requiring a degree.
