dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'QA engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, and the job description was found to be too generalized and generic to establish that the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
