Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'software test engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director concluded that the duties described were not sufficiently specialized or complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum entry requirement, and the AAO upheld this decision.
