Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of "computer systems analyst-QA" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision noted that the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates a specific bachelor's degree is common but not always required for such a role. The petitioner's classification of the position as a Level I wage rate further undermined the claim that the duties were sufficiently specialized and complex to necessitate a degree in a specific field.
