H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): did not establish the proffered position qualifies as a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job duties were not described with sufficient detail, particularly the allocation of time between complex network design and more routine client support tasks. As a result, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position as a whole required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
