Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'quality and test engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the evidence, including O*NET data, did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry. The data showed a notable percentage of workers in the occupation hold less than a bachelor's degree, undermining the petitioner's claim.
