Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the proffered position of mechanical engineer qualified as a specialty occupation. The director's denial was based on the position not being a specialty occupation, but the AAO found the petitioner successfully established the first criterion by demonstrating that a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement for the position, citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook.
