dismissed H-1B Case: Automotive Repair
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an auto electrical repair business, failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'auto electrical technician' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not a normal minimum requirement for this role, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
