Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because upon de novo review, the AAO concluded that the petitioner established the proffered 'associate' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the particular position is so complex or unique that it can only be performed by an individual with at least a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, and that the beneficiary was qualified for the role.
