Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded that the proffered position of 'intern architect' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the position, viewed as an unlicensed architect in training, requires a bachelor's degree in architecture to enter the occupation, satisfying the core requirement for an H-1B visa.
Criteria Discussed
