Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that even though the Petitioner listed a range of acceptable degrees, the record established that the duties required a body of highly specialized knowledge, and attaining one of those degrees constituted a degree 'in the specific specialty' as required by law.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation Bachelor'S Or Higher Degree Requirement Body Of Highly Specialized Knowledge
