H-1B Dismissed — Construction (2006): did not establish the proposed position of 'construction

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a general contractor, failed to establish that the proposed position of 'construction project engineer' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the duties were more akin to a construction manager overseeing flooring installation, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the position met any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
