Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner established that the proffered position of 'Senior Quality Assurance Engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided a sufficiently detailed job description, explained the beneficiary's role within their proprietary software operations, and submitted a thorough position evaluation, proving the duties are so specialized and complex that they require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
