Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'web programmer/developer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision references the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which indicates that while most computer programmers have a bachelor's degree, some employers hire workers with only an associate's degree. Therefore, a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
