Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'computer programmer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement for the position, citing the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which states that some employers hire computer programmers with an associate's degree.
