Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the petitioner had not established that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the record established by a preponderance of the evidence that the position is so complex it can only be performed by an individual with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related field.
