Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed the director's denial, concluding that the proffered 'field maintenance engineer' position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The duties described were found to align with those of an aircraft mechanic or technician, an occupation that does not normally require a bachelor's degree according to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the position met any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
