Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the totality of the evidence, including the detailed description of duties and the designated wage level IV, established that the proffered 'senior security architect' position is so specialized and complex that it requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty. The AAO found that the Director erred in concluding the position did not qualify as a specialty occupation.
