Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner successfully established the proposed art director position as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the nature of the specific duties—which include formulating design concepts, creating computer graphic work, and using bilingual skills for various visual media—are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in art or a related field, thereby meeting the fourth criterion for a specialty occupation.
