Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO, upon de novo review, found that the petitioner established the proffered position as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the duties are so specialized and complex that they require a bachelor's degree, and that the beneficiary possesses a qualifying foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree.
