Decision Summary

The initial denial was based on the conclusion that the proffered position of 'senior technical business analyst' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided a detailed job description and successfully demonstrated that the nature of the specific duties was so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field.
