Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'systems associate' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The end-client where the beneficiary would work did not specify its own educational requirements, which is a critical factor. Additionally, the AAO noted that the corresponding occupational category in the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook, 'Computer Programmers', does not uniformly require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
