Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'quality and test engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the evidence, including O*NET data, did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry, noting that a significant portion of workers in the occupation hold less than a bachelor's degree. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that a degree requirement is common to the industry for similar positions.
