Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found sufficient evidence of an employer-employee relationship, noting the petitioner would pay the beneficiary's salary and retained the right to terminate employment. Additionally, the AAO determined that the nature of the beneficiary's proposed duties as a systems analyst for the end-client was specialized and complex enough to require a bachelor's degree, thereby qualifying the position as a specialty occupation.
