dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's qualifications for the specialty occupation. While the AAO agreed the position of applications programmer was a specialty occupation, it found obvious and unresolved inconsistencies in the beneficiary's educational transcripts, making it impossible to verify if the beneficiary held the required degree.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Definition (8 C.F.R. 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)) Beneficiary Qualifications (8 C.F.R. 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(C))
