Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the 'managing director of the investment division' position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the position's duties aligned with those of a financial analyst, a role for which the Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates a bachelor's degree is a normal minimum requirement, thus qualifying it as a specialty occupation.
