Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered program manager position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal upon de novo review, finding that the specific duties of the position were so specialized and complex that they required knowledge usually associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
