Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'quality assurance engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument that the job title containing 'engineer' is sufficient, stating that it considers the actual job duties, not just the title. The decision also affirmed USCIS's authority to evaluate the LCA's correspondence with the petition.
