H-1B Dismissed — Industrial Engineering (2006): did not establish the proffered 'Industrial Engineer'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'Industrial Engineer' position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria, upholding the director's finding that the duties resembled those of an industrial engineering technician, which does not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
