H-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2016): did not establish sufficient evidence of the specific work
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of the specific work the beneficiary would perform. The job description was generic, and the record lacked concrete documentation, such as contracts or detailed project specifications, to prove that H-1B caliber work existed for the requested employment period. This lack of specificity made it impossible to determine if the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation.
