H-1B Dismissed — Software Quality Assurance (2021): did not establish the proffered position of 'quality

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position of 'quality assurance engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that sources like the Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET were not probative in this case, as they did not show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, rather than a general degree, is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
