Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of "systems engineer II" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The evidence, including the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, as the Handbook indicates that individuals with general business or liberal arts degrees can be hired for similar roles.
