Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a steel fabrication company, failed to establish that the proffered position of a drafter qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director that the evidence did not demonstrate that the position's duties are so complex or specialized as to require a bachelor's degree, which is not a normal minimum requirement for drafter positions.
