Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding that the position of a senior veterinary technician was not a specialty occupation because the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) indicated an associate's degree was sufficient. On appeal, counsel provided a newer edition of the OOH which suggested a bachelor's degree could be a typical qualification for upper-level positions. The AAO remanded the case for a new decision to be made considering this new evidence.
