Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, arguing the food service manager position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the duties for this specific role, which involves supervising four general managers for a large restaurant operation, were of such complexity as to require a baccalaureate degree in a specialized field, thereby meeting the specialty occupation criteria.
