Decision Summary
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. As the substantive nature of the work was not established, the petitioner could not demonstrate that the position met any of the regulatory criteria requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
