H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2017): the petitioner provided multiple inconsistent descriptions
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided multiple inconsistent descriptions of the proffered position, including varying job titles, duties, and minimum educational requirements. These variances prevented a determination of the substantive nature of the work and whether it met any of the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation. The acceptance of a general business degree was also noted as insufficient to establish the position as a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
