H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): did not establish the proffered 'computer programmer

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered 'computer programmer analyst' 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 require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. Discrepancies between the petitioner's and the end-client's job descriptions and inconsistencies related to the Labor Condition Application further weakened the case.
