H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): did not establish the proffered software developer position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered software developer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the evidence did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail, nor did it establish that the job duties require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, particularly for a role at a third-party client site.
