H-1B Dismissed — Budget Analysis (2016): did not establish the 'budget analyst' position as a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'budget analyst' position as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided a generic job description copied from the Department of Labor's O*NET, which did not sufficiently detail the specific duties within the company's operations. Additionally, the requirement of a general business administration degree was found to be insufficient to establish the need for a degree in a specific specialty.
