H-1B Dismissed — Medical Technology (2020): did not establish the proffered position of 'endoscope
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'endoscope design engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found significant and material inconsistencies between the job duties described in the initial petition (focusing on maintenance, repair, and calibration) and the new duties provided later (focusing on design, manufacturing, and assembly), which undermined the petitioner's credibility and made it impossible to determine the true nature of the work.
