dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered programmer analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree is not a standard minimum requirement for computer programmer positions and that the petitioner failed to provide a sufficiently detailed description of the duties, particularly from the end-client where the work would be performed.
