H-1B Dismissed — Construction (2005): did not establish the proffered position of project

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of project engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director determined the duties were more akin to those of a construction manager, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, and the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position was complex enough or that the company normally requires a degree for the role.
