Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the record did not establish that the proffered position qualified as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided a detailed job description and successfully argued that the duties were so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty.
