H-1B Dismissed — Electrical Engineering (2007): did not establish the proffered position of electrical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of electrical engineer consultant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties, such as inspecting, installing, and overseeing repairs of electrical systems in buildings, are more closely related to those of an electrician, a role which does not normally require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as examples of actual design and development work, to demonstrate the complexity of the position required a degree-level education.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Requirement For The Position Is A Bachelor'S Degree Degree Requirement Is Common To The Industry Employer Normally Requires A Degree For The Position Duties Are So Specialized And Complex They Require A Degree
