Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish that the proffered position of software engineer qualified as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the AAO found that the petitioner provided a detailed job description and supporting evidence that sufficiently demonstrated the position's duties are so specialized and complex that they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty, thus meeting the regulatory requirements.
