Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'IT support specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, citing the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook. Additionally, the decision noted a lack of sufficient evidence substantiating that the claimed work for the beneficiary would exist for the requested employment period.
