AAO Finds Profession of “Computer Software Engineer” Does Not Require Specified Field of Study for Bachelor’s Degree

This is a wonderful decision from Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) especially for IT Consulting and Solutions Companies which says that While adjudicating a second preference employment based immigrant application seeking to permanently employ the advanced degree professional as a senior programmer/analyst, the AAO held that a “Computer Software Engineer” requires at least a bachelor’s degree, but that a degree in a specific field is not necessary according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH). The AAO also noted that alien’s accumulated extensive experience as a computer professional is enough for him to qualify for the aforementioned immigrant category.
