Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered job duties for a habilitation counselor were too general and did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO remanded the case because it found that the petitioner's detailed response to an RFE sufficiently described specialized and complex duties, such as developing individualized treatment plans and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, which are consistent with a professional rehabilitation counselor role.
