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.

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.
