Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the record was insufficient to establish that the proffered 'software engineer' position is a specialty occupation. The petitioner's description of the job duties was found to be too vague and generic, lacking the necessary context about specific projects and responsibilities. As the substantive nature of the position could not be ascertained, the matter was sent back to the Director for further review and a new decision.
