Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered "programmer analyst" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's stated requirement of a bachelor's degree in a broad field like business administration or general "science" was insufficient to establish the need for a specific body of highly specialized knowledge. Furthermore, an analysis of the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook for computer programmers indicated that a bachelor's degree is not always the minimum requirement for entry into the field.
