Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director also found that the petitioner did not establish that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist. The AAO affirmed the dismissal, noting the petitioner failed to provide critical evidence of the end-client's specific job requirements, which is necessary to determine the substantive nature of the duties and whether they require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
