Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner had demonstrated sufficient, ongoing specialty occupation work for the beneficiary. Although individual client work orders were short-term, the AAO found that the beneficiary's duties implementing the petitioner's proprietary software were consistent across its in-house managed projects, justifying approval for the full requested period.
