H-1B Dismissed — Retail Business (2004): did not establish the proffered position of technical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an operator of gas stations and car washes, failed to establish that the proffered position of technical writer qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the duties did not require the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge obtained through a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, but rather general skills like reading, research, and writing.
