Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'civil engineer/project manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided abstract job duties that were not sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a requirement for a bachelor's degree in a specific field, and it appeared the role might be more aligned with a construction manager than a civil engineer. Additionally, the Director noted the beneficiary's lack of a license to perform civil engineering duties.
