Dismissed H-1B

H-1B Dismissed โ€” Computer Science (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'programmer

๐Ÿ“… 2017-08-10 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Computer Science

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner submitted inconsistent job descriptions, with the one provided in response to the RFE substantially differing from the initial one, and failed to provide sufficient detail on the complexity and responsibilities of the duties. This lack of a clear and consistent description of the work precluded a finding that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
