H-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting (2006): did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform

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.
