Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the proffered job of a habilitation counselor did not qualify as a specialty occupation because the duties were described in general terms. The AAO found that the petitioner's response to an RFE provided sufficient specific details about the duties—including assessment, creating individualized plans, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team—to establish the position as a specialty occupation, thus warranting a remand.
