dismissed H-1B Case: Construction Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'construction and safety manager' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner, a real estate business, did not provide sufficient evidence of being engaged in construction activities complex enough to require a degreed professional. Furthermore, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO noted that a bachelor's degree is not a universal minimum requirement for all construction manager positions.
