H-1B Dismissed — Software Engineering (2017): did not establish the proffered software engineer position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered software engineer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the record did not describe the position's duties with sufficient detail nor did it establish that the duties require an educational background commensurate with a specialty occupation. The decision also noted preliminary issues with inconsistent information regarding the beneficiary's place of employment.
