Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of software engineer qualified as a specialty occupation. The petitioner, an IT consulting firm, did not provide sufficient evidence detailing the specific duties the beneficiary would perform for its end-client. The contracts and work orders submitted were deemed inadequate because they either did not identify the beneficiary, were dated after the petition's filing, or failed to describe the end-client work in enough detail to prove it required a bachelor's degree.
