H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered "programmer analyst"

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "programmer analyst" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the submitted job descriptions from both the petitioner and the end-client lacked sufficient detail and specificity. This failure to describe the complexity, uniqueness, and substantive nature of the work precluded a finding that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
