H-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'sales

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'sales engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that the role does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, as degrees in disparate fields like engineering, science, or business, or even significant experience without a degree, could qualify an individual for the position.
