Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'software application developer' position is a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner adequately described the projects and the beneficiary's role, and that the duties required a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
