dismissed H-1B Case: Software Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary is qualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation. The submitted credentials evaluation was found to be invalid because it improperly combined work experience with education, which a credentials evaluation service is not authorized to do. Furthermore, the evaluator failed to provide evidence of any authority to grant college-level credit for work experience, thus the beneficiary did not meet the regulatory requirements for degree equivalency.
