Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner established that the proffered position of 'data scientist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner demonstrated the duties are specialized and complex, and the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty, thus meeting the regulatory requirements.
