Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a computer consulting company, failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of mechanical engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided vague job duties and insufficient evidence, such as a generic professional services agreement, to substantiate that H-1B caliber work existed for the beneficiary for the requested employment period. The AAO found the petitioner did not establish a legitimate need for an employee with a specialty degree.
