Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'software quality assurance engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found, as a threshold matter, that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the duties of the position require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, which is a fundamental requirement for the H-1B classification.
