Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish it had secured definite, non-speculative work for the beneficiary for the entire validity period, as its service agreement with the end-client had expired before the requested start date and a new agreement was submitted after the petition's filing.
