H-1B Remanded — Software Development (2020): 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 denied the petition by reclassifying the proffered position from 'Software Developer' to 'Computer Systems Analyst' and then analyzing the wrong occupation. The AAO found this to be an error and sent the case back for the Director to first determine the correct occupational category and then re-evaluate whether the position qualifies as a specialty occupation under the proper classification.
