H-1B Dismissed — Web Development (2020): did not establish the proffered "web developer" position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "web developer" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the position's duties were not described with sufficient detail and that the petitioner did not prove the role requires a bachelor's degree, referencing the Department of Labor's Handbook which states that an associate's degree is the most common requirement for web developers.
