H-1B Dismissed — Landscape Architecture (2017): the petitioner submitted inconsistent and contradictory

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner submitted inconsistent and contradictory evidence regarding the nature of the position. The petitioner initially described the job as a "drafter" on the Form I-129 and LCA, but later claimed on appeal that it was a "landscape architect" position, which has different educational, wage, and licensure requirements. This failure to consistently establish the nature of the job meant the petitioner could not prove it qualified as a specialty occupation.
