H-1B Dismissed — Engineering (2016): did not establish the proffered 'engineering technician'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'engineering technician' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence did not prove that the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement. The petitioner provided inconsistent job descriptions, and their designation of the position at a Level I wage undermined claims about the role's complexity.
