Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the described job duties for the 'habilitation counselor' position were too general to qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO disagreed, finding that the petitioner's response to a Request for Evidence (RFE) provided sufficient detail, context, and specificity about the duties to establish that the position is that of a rehabilitation counselor, which is a specialty occupation. Therefore, the decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded for a new decision.
