Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of sales engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation under any of the four regulatory criteria. The AAO found that the evidence did not support the claim that the position's duties were analogous to those of a sales engineer as described in the Occupational Outlook Handbook, or that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty was required.
