dismissed H-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'software engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, nor did it establish that the job duties at the end-client site were so complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
