Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the job duties were described too generally to qualify as a specialty occupation for a habilitation counselor. On appeal, the AAO found that the petitioner's response to the RFE provided sufficient detail and context, describing a multifaceted approach and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, to establish that the duties were specialized and complex enough for a specialty occupation. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case.
