H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2017): did not establish the proffered 'computer programmer'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'computer programmer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job description was too generic and generalized, failing to convey the substantive nature of the work, its complexity, or the specific highly specialized knowledge required to perform the duties.
