H-1B Remanded — Software Development (2021): 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 failed to first determine whether the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation before analyzing the beneficiary's qualifications. The AAO found the evidence regarding the job duties, particularly at a third-party client site, was inconsistent, vague, and insufficient to establish the substantive nature of the position.
