Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that despite a range of acceptable degrees, the knowledge associated with the duties constituted a 'body of highly specialized knowledge' and the attainment of one of the listed degrees would meet the 'specific specialty' requirement.
Criteria Discussed
