Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'database engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The evidence, particularly the description of duties, was found to be too broad and lacked the specific detail required to demonstrate that the role was so complex or specialized that it necessitated a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The AAO concluded that the record did not provide a comprehensive understanding of the beneficiary's actual role and level of responsibility to differentiate it from a position not requiring a degree.
