H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2015): did not establish specialty occupation work was available

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that specialty occupation work was available at the time of filing and that the beneficiary was qualified for the position. The AAO further found insufficient evidence of a valid employer-employee relationship and that the proffered 'Programmer Analyst' position itself qualified as a specialty occupation.
