Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided credible and detailed descriptions of the job duties and the specific, narrow range of degrees required for the position. The AAO found this evidence sufficient to establish that the position requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, thereby qualifying as a specialty occupation.
