remanded H-1B Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the 'project manager' position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the described duties, involving construction plans and technical drawings, resembled those of an architect, which requires a bachelor's degree. Having established the position as a specialty occupation, the AAO remanded the case for the director to determine if the beneficiary is qualified to perform the duties, particularly concerning state licensure.
