Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, stating the proffered graphic designer position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner had established the position qualifies as a specialty occupation by meeting the criterion that a baccalaureate degree is a normal minimum requirement for entry, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook and an expert opinion letter. The AAO also determined the beneficiary was qualified for the position based on a credential evaluation of their foreign degree.
