Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the proffered position of film and video director qualified as a specialty occupation. While the Occupational Outlook Handbook does not state that a degree is a normal minimum requirement for directors, the AAO determined that the specific duties of this role were so specialized and complex, involving technical motion-capture processes, that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree.
