Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'senior software engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director initially found the evidence insufficient to prove the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty and also questioned if the beneficiary was qualified; the AAO upheld this denial.
