H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): did not establish the proffered 'programmer analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail and noted multiple, inconsistent job descriptions were submitted without explanation. Ultimately, the record did not establish that the job duties require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
