H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): did not establish the proffered "programmer analyst"

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "programmer analyst" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient, specific evidence from the end-client to verify the exact nature of the beneficiary's duties, the project's complexity, or the educational requirements for the off-site work, which is critical in third-party placement cases.
