dismissed H-1B Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record lacked sufficient substantive documentation from the end-client detailing the specific job duties, project requirements, and complexity of the work. The provided job description was too generalized, making it impossible to determine if the duties required the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
