Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the proffered role of 'website designer' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, agreeing with the petitioner that the position's duties were more aligned with a 'web graphic designer.' The AAO determined the duties were sufficiently specialized and complex to meet the criteria for a specialty occupation and that the beneficiary's qualifications were appropriate for the role.
