The Director initially denied the petition, finding that the beneficiary's Master of Fine Arts in media art did not meet the labor certification's requirement for a degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded that the beneficiary's degree program, which included computer programming and modeling, fell under the broad umbrella of a 'related design or technology field' and thus satisfied the labor certification's minimum educational requirement.
