Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'software engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job description was too generalized and lacked sufficient detail about the specific day-to-day duties to demonstrate their complexity or to prove they required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
