Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided a detailed job description that established the proffered position as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties, within the context of the petitioner's business, were so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform them is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher.
