Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because USCIS rescinded its policy guidance regarding third-party worksites, which was a basis for the initial denial concerning speculative employment. Furthermore, the AAO determined that the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the 'SQL developer' position's duties are specialized and complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, thus meeting the criteria for a specialty occupation.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Availability Of Work / Third-Party Worksite
