Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'quality engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that evidence from the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET was not probative in establishing that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry. The general occupational data did not sufficiently demonstrate that the specific duties were so specialized and complex as to require a degree in a specific field.
