Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'web developer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO found that the normal minimum requirement for the occupation is not a bachelor's degree, as an associate's degree is most common and requirements can range down to a high school diploma. Therefore, the position did not satisfy the first regulatory criterion for a specialty occupation.
