H-1B Dismissed โ Software Development (2017): did not establish the proffered 'software developer'
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.
Criteria Discussed
