Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide documentation from the end-client specifying its minimum educational requirements, and the petitioner's own stated degree requirement was overly broad, accepting disparate fields not directly related to the job duties. The decision also noted the mismatch between the beneficiary's pharmacy degrees and the skills needed for a software quality engineer position.
