H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2016): did not establish the proffered 'systems engineer' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'systems engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the record did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail or establish that the position requires a specific bachelor's degree. Furthermore, the decision noted inconsistencies in the contractual evidence regarding the end-client relationship, which undermined the petitioner's claims about the available work.
