dismissed H-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a company engaged in pawning jewelry and goods, failed to establish that the proffered position of an 'application programmer and advertising manager' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not prove that the position's duties actually require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
