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 a request for evidence sufficiently detailed the specialized and complex nature of the duties, which included a multifaceted approach to rehabilitation, collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, and development of individualized treatment plans. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case for a new decision.
