H-1B Dismissed — Software Quality Assurance (2019): did not establish the proffered 'quality and test engineer'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'quality and test engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the evidence, including O*NET data, did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry. The data showed a notable percentage of workers in the occupation hold less than a bachelor's degree, undermining the petitioner's claim.
