H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (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 AAO found that the job duties were described in generic terms without sufficient detail to demonstrate complexity, and the stated minimum educational requirements were inconsistent and overly broad, failing to show a need for a degree in a specific specialty.
