dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Systems Administration
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'network and computer systems administrator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that evidence from the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET was insufficient, as it showed a range of educational paths for the role, including less than a bachelor's degree. Therefore, the petitioner failed to prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position.
