H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2021): did not establish the proffered position of 'programmer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the described duties, such as creating data pipeline architecture and performing ETL tasks, did not appear to correspond to the petitioner's chosen occupational classification of 'Computer Programmers'. This discrepancy and lack of sufficient detail precluded a determination that the position's substantive nature required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
