H-1B Dismissed โ Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of a UAT lead
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a UAT lead qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, nor did it demonstrate that the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The submitted contracts were deemed to have little probative weight as they were too general and did not commit the parties to any specific work for the beneficiary.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Definition 8 C.F.R. ยง 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A) Requirement For Bachelor'S Or Higher Degree In A Specific Specialty End-Client Work Requirements
