Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition because the evidence did not establish that the proffered position of 'international mergers & acquisitions counsel' qualified as a specialty occupation. On appeal, after a de novo review of the entire record including new evidence, the AAO concluded that the petitioner had successfully demonstrated the position does qualify as a specialty occupation, and that the beneficiary is qualified for the role.
