H-1B Remanded — Software Development: the director's decision was withdrawn and the matter
Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn and the matter remanded. The petitioner overcame the initial grounds for denial (lack of end-client contract and itinerary) by submitting a purchase order on appeal. However, the AAO found that the petitioner had not yet demonstrated that the programmer-analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation, specifically that it requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
