H-1B Dismissed — Systems Engineering (2017): did not establish the systems engineer position qualifies

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the systems engineer position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail, providing only generalized and generic functions that did not convey the substantive nature of the work. Consequently, the petitioner could not establish that the position's duties were so specialized and complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
