Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, stating the food service manager position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that for this specific petitioner—a large restaurant operation with 170 employees—the duties were complex enough to require a baccalaureate degree, particularly as the beneficiary would supervise four general managers at different locations.
