H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2016): did not establish the proffered position of a 'computer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a 'computer programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the duties are so specialized and complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Additionally, the Director initially found the petitioner did not establish that a valid employer-employee relationship would be maintained, a finding which was upheld on appeal.
