H-1B Dismissed โ Information Technology (2016): did not establish the proffered 'QA tester' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'QA tester' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's allowance for a degree in disparate fields such as engineering, business, and computer science did not demonstrate that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty, a core requirement for the H-1B classification.
