Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide a sufficiently detailed description of the beneficiary's day-to-day duties in the context of the end-client's project, making it impossible to determine if the role was specialized and complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
