H-1B Remanded — Information Technology (2023): the Director's decision was insufficient for review

Decision Summary

The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision was insufficient for review. The Director first needed to determine if the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation before assessing the beneficiary's qualifications. The AAO expressed concerns that the petitioner's acceptance of a broad range of degrees (business administration, economics, information technology) might indicate the position does not require a degree in a 'specific specialty' as required by statute.
