H-1B Dismissed — Engineering (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'mechanical

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'mechanical engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's descriptions of the job duties were generic, inconsistent between the initial petition and the RFE response, and lacked the necessary detail to demonstrate that the position's tasks are so specialized and complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
