Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'senior software engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the submitted job description was too generalized and generic, lacking specific details about the day-to-day duties, complexity, and specialized knowledge required. Consequently, the petitioner did not establish that the position's duties require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
