Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The director determined, and the AAO agreed, that the majority of the duties described, such as troubleshooting and servicing equipment, were those of a technician, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate a history of requiring a degree for the position or that such a requirement was common within its industry.
