Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding that the position did not qualify as a specialty occupation and the beneficiary was not qualified. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner provided a detailed job description showing the duties are so specialized and complex that a bachelor's degree is required, and that the beneficiary's degree qualifies him for the position.
