dismissed H-1B Case: Aviation
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.
