dismissed H-1B Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a laundry and dry cleaning business, failed to establish that the proffered position of 'electrical engineer' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the described duties, which primarily involved operating and repairing dry cleaning machines, were more aligned with those of an 'Industrial Machinery Installation, Repair, and Maintenance Worker,' a role that does not typically require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
