Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the record contained inconsistencies and lacked sufficient evidence regarding the specific duties the beneficiary would perform. These discrepancies undermined the claim that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
