Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the 'Data Analyst' position was not a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the specific duties of the position were so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with at least a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, satisfying the regulatory requirements.
