Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an owner of gas stations and car washes, failed to establish that the proffered position of technical writer qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties, while requiring general skills associated with a college education like writing and research, did not necessitate the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge from a specific degree field. Therefore, the position did not meet the regulatory criteria for an H-1B visa.
