Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'information technology specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties, a mix of web design, database administration, and customer service, do not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria to establish the position as a specialty occupation.
