Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered graphic designer role was a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding upon de novo review that the specific position did require a bachelor's degree level of highly specialized knowledge in graphic arts or a related field, thus qualifying it as a specialty occupation.
