Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a clinical psychology clinic, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'computer security coordinator and director for records management' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is a normal minimum requirement for the position, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which suggests an associate's degree could suffice for similar roles. The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to support its claims regarding its size and expansion plans, which would justify the need for a degreed professional.
