Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "Junior Engineer" position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the described job duties did not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, aligning more with a civil engineering technician role rather than a professional engineer. The petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
