H-1B Remanded — Software Quality Assurance (2024): the Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner would accept any engineering degree, which would fail the 'specific specialty' requirement. The AAO found that this conclusion was based on the petitioner's requirements for other positions, not the specific 'quality assurance analyst' position at issue. The matter was remanded for the Director to re-evaluate the evidence based on the actual degree requirements for the proffered job, which were specified as computer engineering, computer science, or a closely related IT field.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For Position Degree Requirement Common To Industry Employer'S Normal Degree Requirement Specialized And Complex Duties
