Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided credible, detailed descriptions of the job duties and the narrow range of degrees it would accept. The AAO found that the position requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and is so complex that it necessitates a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, thereby qualifying as a specialty occupation.
