Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO concluded the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the specific duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. Even though a range of degrees were identified as acceptable, the record established how each field was directly related to the position's duties.
Criteria Discussed
Specialty Occupation 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(4)
