H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'computer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'computer systems analyst-QA' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO referenced the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is common but not always a requirement for the position, thus failing to meet the regulatory standard.
