The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the substantive nature of the work the beneficiary would perform, which is necessary to determine if the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.

Evidence submitted after the filing date was not considered, and a letter from the end-client was too vague to substantiate the claim.
