H-1B Dismissed — Computer Consulting (2016): did not establish the proffered 'programmer analyst'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job duties were described with insufficient detail, did not establish that they require a specific bachelor's degree, and that the petitioner did not demonstrate it had non-speculative work for the beneficiary.
