H-1B Dismissed — Aviation (2005): did not establish the proffered position of ground school
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of ground school manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined, after consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation of a pilot or flight instructor. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria to prove the position required a degree in a specific specialty.
