Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a software design firm, failed to establish that the proffered 'support engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director and the AAO concluded that the duties described did not demonstrate a consistent requirement for a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, especially as the petitioner stated no experience was required for the entry-level role.
