H-1B Sustained — Unknown (2015): established the proffered position qualifies as a specialty
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Upon de novo review, the AAO found that the totality of the evidence established that the position's duties are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
