Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO first determined that the proffered position of Staff Software Engineer qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO then found that the beneficiary was qualified for the role, concluding that their foreign bachelor's degree in electronics and communication engineering was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in a required field.
