Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'steel detailer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the job duties were described in generalized and vague terms, which did not sufficiently demonstrate that the position's complexity or specialization required a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
