H-1B Remanded — Software Development (2023): the Director's denial, based on an allegedly incorrect wage
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial, based on an allegedly incorrect wage level on the Labor Condition Application (LCA), lacked a clear factual basis. The AAO found that the Director did not properly apply Department of Labor guidance to compare the proffered software developer position's duties to the O*NET description or adequately explain why the position required a wage level higher than the entry-level selected by the petitioner.
