H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2021): did not establish the proffered "software developer"

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "software developer" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director found the description of duties to be too overarching and abstract, lacking sufficient detail to determine if the position requires specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Additional details provided on appeal were considered a material change to the position and were not accepted.
