Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because, upon de novo review, the AAO concluded that the proffered position is a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner provided a sufficiently detailed description of the software development duties, establishing that the nature of the work is so specialized and complex that it requires a bachelor's or higher degree in a specific specialty.
