Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the proffered position of graphic designer qualifies as a specialty occupation, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook's statement that a bachelor's degree is normally required for entry. The AAO also accepted the petitioner's explanation for a discrepancy in its Employer Identification Number (EIN), which was due to a change in business structure from a partnership to a corporation.
