H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered 'technical support

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'technical support engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the description of job duties was too broad and lacked sufficient detail to ascertain the complexity of the role. As the petitioner did not establish that the specific duties require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a specialized field, none of the regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation were met.
