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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an IT consulting firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'computer programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence from the end-client, where the beneficiary would work, to detail the specific job duties and requirements. Without this evidence, it was impossible to determine if the position's duties were sufficiently specialized and complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, and the work was deemed non-speculative.
