H-1B Dismissed โ Software Development (2020): did not establish the proffered position qualified as a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide a complete contractual chain of documents to the end-client, and the provided Statement of Work was created after the petition was filed and lacked specific details about the project or duties. This lack of evidence made it impossible to determine the true nature of the beneficiary's work and whether it required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
