sustained H-1B Case: Video Production
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'video producer' position qualified as a specialty occupation. On appeal, the petitioner provided evidence including its hiring history, job advertisements, and letters from similar companies attesting that a bachelor's degree in a relevant field is a standard industry requirement. The AAO found this evidence persuasive, determined the position met the criteria for a specialty occupation, and sustained the appeal.
