Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition after concluding the Beneficiary was not qualified to perform the duties of the software developer position. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Beneficiary's foreign degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in the specialty, thus qualifying them for the position.
