Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'associate systems administrator' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that according to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is common but not always a requirement for entry into the occupation. Additionally, the position's designation as a Level I entry-level wage role indicated routine tasks not complex enough to necessitate a specialty degree.
