Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered business analyst position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's requirement for a bachelor's degree in various disparate fields such as economics, finance, or marketing, without showing how each is directly related to the position, did not meet the H-1B standard of requiring a degree in a 'specific specialty'. A generalized degree requirement is insufficient to classify a position as a specialty occupation.
