Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'architectural drafter' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the evidence, including the Occupational Outlook Handbook, did not show that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the minimum prerequisite for entry into the occupation.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Criteria (8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A))
