Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding that the proffered position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal because it found that the petitioner successfully established that the nature of the position's duties is so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with at least a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
