Decision Summary

The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the 'Web Developer II' position did not qualify as a specialty occupation. Upon de novo review, the AAO found that the specific duties of the position are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required is usually associated with a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully established the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
