Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition because the proffered job duties for a habilitation counselor were considered too general. On appeal, the AAO found that the petitioner's response to the RFE provided sufficient specific details, describing a multifaceted role involving assessments, individualized treatment plans, and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. Concluding the duties were sufficiently described to qualify as a rehabilitation counselor, the AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case for a new decision.
