H-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting (2020): did not establish the proffered 'programmer analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'programmer analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner provided inconsistent and insufficient information regarding the specific job duties and in-house projects, making it impossible to determine the position's substantive nature and whether it truly required a specialized bachelor's degree.
