๐Ÿ“… 2017-08-14 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Software Development

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'software developer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The description of the job duties was deemed too generic and vague to establish the complexity of the role or to prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a minimum requirement for the position.
