H-1B Dismissed โ Software Development (2020): did not establish the proffered 'software developer'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'software developer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide definitive, non-speculative evidence of the work the beneficiary would perform, submitting heavily redacted and incomplete contractual documents that failed to substantiate the terms of the end-client assignment.
