Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of "Java software developer" qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the job description too generic to establish the substantive nature of the work and noted that the incomplete chain of contracts between the petitioner, vendor, supplier, and end-client failed to prove that a position actually existed for the beneficiary for the requested period.
