Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the director incorrectly determined the proffered position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner, a law firm involved in international law, established that the duties of the legal writer/editor were specialized and complex, requiring knowledge associated with a bachelor's degree, thereby qualifying the position as a specialty occupation.
