H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2017): did not establish the proffered 'programmer analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail, providing only generic functions from the end-client, and failed to establish that the duties are so specialized or complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The petitioner also provided inconsistent information regarding the position's minimum educational requirements and the beneficiary's supervisor.
