dismissed H-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent and ambiguous information regarding the minimum educational requirements for the role, sometimes citing a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, or allowing for undefined "equivalent experience," thereby failing to prove that a specific degree is a minimum prerequisite for the position.
