H-1B Dismissed — Software Engineering (2015): did not establish the proffered 'Software Engineer'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'Software Engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO found that the evidence did not demonstrate that the position's duties are so complex or specialized as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, a key requirement for the H-1B visa category.
