H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2016): did not establish the proffered position of 'software test
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'software test engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed upon review, that the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the duties of the position were so specialized or complex as to require the attainment of a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
