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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO noted significant inconsistencies in the record regarding the beneficiary's salary and the position's minimum educational requirements. Furthermore, the petitioner's assertion that a degree in broad and disparate fields like engineering, information technology, or science was sufficient did not prove the position requires a degree in a specific specialty.
