Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of network systems analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicated the role was more aligned with a systems administrator. The Handbook states that while a degree is often sought for such roles, it is not necessarily required to be in a specific computer-related field, thus failing to meet the H-1B criteria.
