Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered web developer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which states an associate's degree is more common. The petitioner's supporting evidence, including job advertisements, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate that its particular position required such a degree.
