Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the proffered programmer/analyst position qualified as a specialty occupation. While the director found none of the regulatory criteria were met, the AAO concluded that the specific duties were so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree, thus satisfying one of the four required criteria. The AAO also confirmed the beneficiary possessed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in computer science.
