H-1B Dismissed — Stone/Tile Sales (2016): did not establish the proffered 'Sales Engineer' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'Sales Engineer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. While one basis for denial (failure to pay fees) was withdrawn, the AAO found that the evidence did not prove that the position's duties were sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement.
Criteria Discussed
