dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it was a business in good standing at the time of filing, which raised questions about whether a bona fide job offer existed. Furthermore, the AAO found that even if this deficiency were set aside, the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of software engineer qualified as a specialty occupation, citing inconsistencies in the record regarding the job duties and the company's structure.
