Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, reasoning that the proffered 'medical research assistant' position was not a specialty occupation as its duties resembled roles that do not require a bachelor's degree. The AAO remanded the case, finding that the specific duties were a complex hybrid of a radiologic technologist and a physician assistant, making them sufficiently specialized to require knowledge associated with a bachelor's degree and thus qualifying as a specialty occupation.
