The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'software quality assurance engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record lacked sufficient evidence, such as detailed statements of work or contracts, to describe the specific duties the beneficiary would perform for the end-client.
