H-1B Sustained — Animal Science (2005): the director denied the petition, concluding the position
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the position of an artificial insemination technician was not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner successfully established that the nature of the position's specific duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in animal science.
