H-1B Dismissed — Software Engineering (2016): did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary is qualified to perform services in a specialty occupation. The beneficiary's foreign degree was evaluated as equivalent to only three years of a U.S. bachelor's degree, and the petitioner's evidence, including an evaluation from a professor, was found insufficient to prove the required work experience to meet the degree equivalency requirement.
