dismissed H-1B Case: Construction Consulting

📅 Date unknown 👤 Company 📂 Construction Consulting

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of construction/property consultant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the position's duties, as described, were more aligned with those of a claims adjuster or appraiser, occupations that do not normally require a baccalaureate degree in a specific specialty according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Consequently, the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria required to classify the position as a specialty occupation.

Criteria Discussed

Baccalaureate Or Higher Degree Is A Normal Minimum Requirement Degree Requirement Is Common To The Industry Or The Position Is Complex/Unique Employer Normally Requires A Degree For The Position Nature Of The Specific Duties Is So Specialized And Complex
