Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded, upon de novo review, that the proffered position's duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. This finding established that the position qualifies as a specialty occupation, contrary to the service center director's initial decision.
