Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'technical analyst-support' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the role, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates that degrees in various fields like computer science, business, or even liberal arts can be acceptable for similar positions.
