H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'computer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'computer programmer analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the record did not demonstrate that the job duties require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement, which is necessary to meet the H-1B visa criteria.
