H-1B Remanded — Software Engineering (2020): the Director's decision was deemed insufficient for review

Decision Summary

The case was remanded because the Director's decision was deemed insufficient for review. The Director denied the petition based on the Beneficiary's qualifications but failed to first analyze whether the proffered position itself qualifies as a specialty occupation, which is a required procedural step. The AAO found the job description lacked the necessary detail to make this determination and sent the case back for the Director to re-evaluate the specialty occupation issue first.
