Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the 'mid-range programmer' position was not a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence to establish that the specific duties of the position were specialized and complex enough that the knowledge required is usually associated with the attainment of a bachelor's degree, thus meeting the criteria for a specialty occupation.
