H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science: did not establish the beneficiary was qualified for the
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation. The submitted foreign education evaluation was deemed insufficient because it improperly included work experience. An expert opinion letter was also found unpersuasive as it did not definitively state degree equivalence and lacked evidence of the professor's authority to grant such credit.
