H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2020): did not establish the proffered 'consultant' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'consultant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail and the record did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal minimum requirement for the role, noting that the cited DOL resources were not probative.
