H-1B Dismissed — Computer Programming (2006): the beneficiary was found unqualified to perform the duties

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was found unqualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation. The beneficiary's foreign degree was evaluated as equivalent to a bachelor's degree in business administration, not a computer-related field required for the computer programmer position. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's education and work experience combined were equivalent to a relevant U.S. bachelor's degree.
