Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the proffered position of 'informatics consultant/lead' qualifies as a specialty occupation. Upon de novo review, it was found that the particular position is so complex or unique that it can only be performed by an individual holding at least a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, thereby meeting the regulatory criteria.
