Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the director erred in denying the petition. The director claimed the job did not require a professional because the labor certification allowed for a master's degree in 'any major.' The AAO concluded that the regulations defining a 'profession' do not necessarily require a degree in a specific field and that the Occupational Outlook Handbook supported that a master's degree is a normal requirement for a market research specialist.
