Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the described job duties for a 'habilitation counselor' were too general and did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO disagreed, finding that the petitioner's response to the RFE provided sufficient detail about the multifaceted and specialized nature of the duties, such as using specific behavioral intervention plans and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team. The AAO concluded the evidence was sufficient to describe the job duties of a rehabilitation counselor and remanded the case for a new decision.
