Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the proffered role of senior sales/marketing engineer did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO agreed with the petitioner that the specific duties were highly technical and complex, requiring an engineering or science degree to manage sales and marketing for sophisticated database software to clients in the telecommunications and semiconductor industries.
