Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the proffered web developer role did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the specific duties of the position were specialized and complex enough that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty, thereby meeting the regulatory requirements.
