Decision Summary
The decision was remanded because the record raised questions about whether the petitioner selected the correct Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code on the Labor Condition Application (LCA). The AAO instructed the Director to re-evaluate if the proffered 'Validation Engineer' position more closely aligns with 'Software Quality Assurance Engineers and Testers', determine the actual minimum requirements and corresponding wage level, and then issue a new decision on whether the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
