H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'associate

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'associate quality professional' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's requirement of a general-purpose bachelor's degree, such as in business, was insufficient to prove the need for a degree in a specific specialty. Additionally, the petitioner did not provide sufficient contractual evidence to demonstrate that specialty occupation work would be available for the beneficiary for the entire requested employment period.
