H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'devops
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'devops engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent and overly broad educational requirements, including disparate fields like commerce, economics, and business administration. The AAO determined that requiring a general-purpose degree or a wide variety of unrelated degrees does not meet the statutory requirement for a degree in a 'specific specialty' that is directly related to the position's duties.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Degree Requirement Common To The Industry Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Specialized And Complex Nature Of The Duties
