Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the Director that the duties described, focusing on supervision and project management, were more similar to a construction manager than a civil engineer, a role which does not consistently require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
