Decision Summary
The AAO reopened the case on its own motion, following a lawsuit filed by the petitioner, to reconsider a prior dismissal. This decision is a request for further evidence because the record is insufficient to establish that the proffered 'structural steel detailer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO noted inconsistencies in the job's characterization (drafter vs. architect) and found the evidence of the petitioner's degree requirement for the role to be unpersuasive.
