Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded that the proffered 'Data Scientist' position is a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the specific duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher, and the petitioner provided a sufficiently detailed job description to support this.
