H-1B Dismissed — Computer Programming (2017): did not establish the proffered computer programmer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered computer programmer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent and overly broad educational requirements, listing disparate fields like computer science, science, and engineering without justification. Furthermore, the job duties were described in generic, vague terms that did not demonstrate sufficient complexity or specialization to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
