Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'sr. software engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record lacked sufficient evidence, such as a valid and detailed Statement of Work, to describe the specific services the beneficiary would perform at the end-client's location, making it impossible to determine if the job duties required a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
