Decision Summary
The initial denial was based on the conclusion that the Beneficiary was not qualified to perform services in a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal because its review of the Beneficiary's academic credentials established that their foreign degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in a related specialty, thus qualifying them for the position.
