dismissed H-1B Case: Software Engineering

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Software Engineering

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a software consulting firm, failed to establish that the position offered to the beneficiary at a third-party client site qualified as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as a detailed statement of work from the end-client, to describe the specific duties and prove that they required a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Evidence submitted on appeal was dated after the petition's filing date and was therefore not considered.
