Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation of systems analyst. The beneficiary lacked a U.S. bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent in a computer-related field. The provided credentials evaluation, intended to demonstrate equivalency through a combination of education and experience, was found insufficient as it did not prove the evaluator had the authority to grant college-level credit for work experience.
