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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'computer programmer analyst' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The primary reason for the denial was the lack of documentary evidence from the end-client where the beneficiary would be placed. Without contracts or statements from the end-client detailing the specific duties and minimum educational requirements, the petitioner could not establish that the work was sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
