dismissed H-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'architect' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the evidence, specifically the reliance on O*NET data, was insufficient to prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position.
