H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2016): did not establish the proffered 'QA analyst' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'QA analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, nor did it establish that the job duties require a specific bachelor's degree. There were also inconsistencies in the evidence regarding the actual job title and duties.
