Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'software automation developer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, particularly from the end-client where the work would be performed, to demonstrate that the specific duties are so complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
