Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the 'rehabilitation coordinator' position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, disagreeing with the director's analysis and finding that the petitioner successfully demonstrated the position's duties were sufficiently specialized and complex to require a bachelor's degree in physical therapy for proper performance.
