Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of 'welding wire process engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the expert opinion letter submitted in support of the appeal to be unpersuasive, noting it did not substantiate its conclusions, failed to establish the expert's recent, relevant industry experience, and did not provide a meaningful analysis of how the specific job duties required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
