H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): did not establish the proffered 'e-business architect'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'e-business architect' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail, providing only generalized and generic functions. This lack of specificity made it impossible to determine if the position's duties were specialized and complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
