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 decision references the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, which states that while most computer programmers have a bachelor's degree, the occupation does not uniformly require one, as some employers hire workers with an associate's degree.
