Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "programmer analyst" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant and unresolved inconsistencies in the documentation regarding the nature of the job duties, the project(s) the beneficiary would work on, and the actual end-client or worksite. These discrepancies undermined the reliability of the petitioner's claims about the position's complexity and its requirement for a specialized bachelor's degree.
