Decision Summary
The initial denial was reversed because the petitioner successfully established that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. While the AAO agreed that a bachelor's degree is not normally the minimum requirement for a 'computer systems analyst' position, it found that the specific duties of this particular 'application support engineer' role were so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree, thus meeting an alternative criterion.
