H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2017): did not establish the proffered 'systems analyst' role
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'systems analyst' role qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner submitted two distinctly different job descriptions, which made it impossible to determine the true nature of the position. The petitioner did not establish that the duties required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, a conclusion supported by the Level I wage designation on the LCA.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Qualification Employer-Employee Relationship Normal Degree Requirement For Position (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1)) Consistency Of Job Duties Described
