H-1B Dismissed — Software (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'implementation
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'implementation specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the record did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail, nor did it prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry, referencing DOL sources that suggest a range of degrees are acceptable for similar roles.
