H-1B Dismissed โ Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position qualifies as a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The description of the beneficiary's duties, particularly those to be performed at an end-client's worksite, was found to be overly generalized and lacking the necessary detail to establish complexity or specialization. The evidence did not prove that the actual work required a bachelor's degree in a specific field, and an expert opinion letter was deemed insufficient as it lacked substantive analysis of the position in the context of the end-client's project.
