Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because, upon de novo review, the AAO found the evidence of record sufficient to demonstrate the position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner established that the position's duties require a body of highly specialized knowledge obtained through a specific course of study and that the role is complex enough to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
