H-1B Dismissed — Mobile Electronics (2005): did not establish the proffered position of quality control
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of quality control manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the duties were more consistent with those of an electronic equipment installer and repairer with managerial responsibilities, an occupation which does not normally require a bachelor's degree according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that a degree is a normal minimum requirement for the position or common within the industry.
