H-1B Dismissed — Avionics (2006): did not establish the proposed position of 'avionics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed position of 'avionics engineer' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director's assessment that the described duties were more aligned with those of an avionics technician, a role that does not typically require a bachelor's degree, rather than a sales engineer. Consequently, the petitioner did not prove that a baccalaureate degree in a specific field was the minimum requirement for the position.
