Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed its prior decision to deny the petition, concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that the position of aircraft pilot in command qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision notes that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is a minimum requirement for the role. The AAO also discounted an amended, more complex job description submitted late in the process, stating a petitioner cannot materially change a position's duties after the initial filing.
