dismissed H-1B Case: Avionics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'technical specialist, aircraft systems' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director and the AAO determined that the duties were primarily those of an aircraft mechanic, an occupation that does not normally require a bachelor's degree according to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence was found insufficient to prove that the position required a degree in a specific specialty.
