Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of "systems analyst" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision cited the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a bachelor's degree in a specific computer or information science field is common but not always a requirement for computer systems analysts, as some firms hire individuals with business or liberal arts degrees. Therefore, the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the position.
