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.
