Decision Summary
The initial denial was based on the conclusion that the proffered 'program manager' position was not a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the specific duties are specialized and complex, requiring knowledge usually associated with a bachelor's or higher degree in a specific specialty.
