Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish that work was available in a specialty occupation and that the proffered 'Sr. System Architect' position itself qualified as one. The AAO found that the evidence submitted on appeal did not overcome these grounds for denial, and therefore dismissed the appeal.
