dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Programming
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation of computer programmer. The beneficiary's bachelor's degree was in Aeronautical Engineering, which is not directly related to the position. Furthermore, the petitioner's attempt to prove qualification through a combination of education and experience failed because the submitted credential evaluation improperly assessed work experience, which can only be evaluated by an official with authority to grant college-level credit for such experience.
