Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of office automation analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for such a role, which blends duties of computer support specialists and systems analysts. The petitioner did not prove the duties were sufficiently complex or that a degree was an industry standard for similar positions.
