H-1B Dismissed โ Software Development (2020): did not establish a sufficiently detailed job description
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide a sufficiently detailed job description for the proffered position. The AAO concluded that without specific duties, it could not determine if the role required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, and noted that many of the duties provided were copied from public sources like O*NET, further weakening the petitioner's case.
