Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the job duties were too general to qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO disagreed, concluding that the petitioner's response to the RFE provided a sufficiently specific description of the habilitation counselor's duties, showing they aligned with a professional rehabilitation counselor role. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case for a new one.
