H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2008): did not establish the proffered programmer analyst position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a software consulting and development company, failed to establish that the proffered programmer analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as contracts or a detailed project description, to show that the specific duties the beneficiary would ultimately perform for a client are so complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
