Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'software engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job description was too generalized and generic, lacking sufficient detail to establish the complexity of the duties or prove that they require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
