H-1B Dismissed — Electronic Security Systems (2020): did not establish the proffered 'systems engineer' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'systems engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The record did not contain sufficient detail about the job duties to demonstrate they require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The AAO found the role focused on selecting and installing existing products, rather than developing new ones, and the described tasks did not appear to necessitate a specialized degree.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Educational Requirement For The Position Industry Standard For Parallel Positions Complexity Or Uniqueness Of The Position Employer'S Normal Hiring Requirement For The Position Specialized And Complex Nature Of The Duties
