Decision Summary
The initial denial was based on a lack of evidence that the beneficiary's five years of post-baccalaureate experience were 'progressive.' On appeal, the petitioner submitted new letters detailing the beneficiary's advancement to senior developer and assumption of higher-level duties. The AAO found that for a highly technical position, it is reasonable to infer that experience is progressive, and the new evidence confirmed this, leading to the appeal being sustained.
