H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'devops support

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'devops support and systems administrator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that reliance on the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook was insufficient, as it shows that entry into the occupation does not categorically require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The petitioner did not prove that its particular position required such a degree.
