Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal on de novo review, finding the petitioner provided sufficient details to demonstrate that the position's duties and required knowledge necessitated a bachelor's degree in economics, thereby meeting the definition of a specialty occupation.
