Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner demonstrated that the position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the role, a blend of responsibilities from the Securities and Commodities Traders and Operations Research Analysts occupations, was sufficiently complex and unique. The petitioner also successfully established the nexus between the position's duties and the requirement for a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, such as financial engineering.
