H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2005): did not establish the proffered position of computer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a staffing company, failed to establish that the proffered position of computer programmer qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree is not a standard minimum requirement for the occupation, and the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria, such as industry standards or the unique complexity of the duties.
