Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded. The AAO determined that the civil engineer position does qualify as a specialty occupation, contrary to the director's finding. However, the case was remanded to address a new issue: whether the beneficiary is qualified to perform the services, as it appears a state license is required to practice engineering in Texas and the record did not contain evidence of such a license.
