dismissed H-1B Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record lacked sufficient evidence from the end-client detailing the job requirements. Furthermore, the submitted Statement of Work contained major discrepancies, including naming the wrong client and having inconsistent start dates, failing to establish that definite, non-speculative work was secured for the beneficiary.
