Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence of definite, non-speculative work for the entire requested period and failed to demonstrate that the specific job duties were so specialized and complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
