H-1B Remanded — Rehabilitation Counseling (2024): the Director denied the petition because the proffered job

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition because the proffered job duties for a habilitation counselor were deemed too general and not sufficiently described to qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO disagreed, finding that the petitioner's response to the RFE provided a detailed narrative that sufficiently described the complex and specialized nature of the duties, which involve a multifaceted approach to rehabilitation, collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, and the development of individualized treatment plans. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the denial and remanded the case for a new decision.
