H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2019): the motion to reopen and reconsider was denied, upholding
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was denied, upholding the previous dismissal. The petitioner failed to establish the proffered 'systems analyst II' role as a specialty occupation due to vague and inconsistent job descriptions. Furthermore, significant discrepancies between the petitioner's stated educational/experience requirements and those in a third-party requisition, along with an improper LCA wage level, undermined the petitioner's credibility and the bona fides of the job offer.
