Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'software developer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, presenting them in abstract and generalized terms. Therefore, the petitioner did not establish that the job duties were so specialized and complex that they would require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Degree Requirement Common To The Industry Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Specialized And Complex Nature Of The Duties
