dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a ticket broker, failed to establish that the proffered position of computer engineer qualified as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO found that the described duties more closely resembled a computer support specialist or systems administrator, positions that do not consistently require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet any of the four regulatory criteria, such as proving a degree is a normal industry requirement or that the duties are uniquely complex.
