Decision Summary
The AAO found that the petitioner successfully established the proffered 'assistant scientific editor' position as a specialty occupation, withdrawing the director's initial denial on that basis. However, the case was remanded because of a potential issue with the Labor Condition Application (LCA), specifically whether the designated Level II wage was correct given the petitioner's requirement for a Ph.D., which may require a higher wage classification.
