Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner's detailed job description established that the duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's or higher degree.
