Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding that the proffered 'Export Trade Specialist' position was not a specialty occupation because it did not require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The AAO sustained the appeal and approved the petition, disagreeing with the director's determination and concluding that the position did, in fact, qualify as a specialty occupation.
