Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the decision noted that a bachelor's degree in a specific computer-related field is common but not always a requirement for computer systems analysts, as individuals with business or liberal arts degrees are also hired.
