Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered position was not a specialty occupation. On appeal, the petitioner submitted additional evidence, and the AAO determined that the totality of the evidence established that the specific duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher, thereby satisfying the criteria for a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(4)
