H-1B Dismissed — Aviation (2005): did not establish the proffered position of chief flight

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of chief flight instructor qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found insufficient evidence that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Additionally, the petitioner failed to submit a certified translation of the beneficiary's foreign degree, rendering it non-probative.
