Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner successfully established the assistant men's soccer coach position qualified as a specialty occupation. The decision was based on the specialized and complex nature of the duties, particularly the significant time dedicated to recruiting elite international players, which required advanced communication and organizational skills usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher.
