Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the beneficiary was qualified for the position, concluding their degrees were in a related field. Although not the basis for the initial denial, the AAO also determined that the proffered position of 'data engineer II' qualifies as a specialty occupation due to its specialized and complex duties.
