H-1B Dismissed — Civil Engineering (2023): did not establish the proffered position of senior

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of senior development analyst qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's stated minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in a wide and disparate range of fields, including engineering, environmental science, business, real estate, or urban planning, was found to be too broad. This lack of a requirement for a degree in a specific specialty meant the position did not meet the statutory definition of a specialty occupation.
