H-1B Dismissed — Computer Consulting (2017): did not establish the proffered 'programmer analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the description of the job duties was too vague and generic, lacking sufficient detail to determine the complexity, substantive nature of the work, or the level of independent judgment required. This failure to adequately describe the duties precluded a finding that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty under any of the regulatory criteria.
