H-1B Dismissed — Accounting (2021): did not establish the proffered 'management analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'management analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found material inconsistencies in the stated minimum educational requirements for the role. Furthermore, the petitioner's claim that a general business degree would suffice undermined the argument that the position required a degree in a 'specific specialty' with a body of 'highly specialized knowledge,' as required by regulation.
