Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the proffered position of 'IT project management consultant' qualifies as a specialty occupation, as its duties are specialized and complex enough to require a bachelor's degree. The AAO also found that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence to prove it was not subject to the additional filing fee under Public Law 114-113, as less than 50% of its U.S. employees were in H or L status.
