Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered Budget Analyst position qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that while a bachelor's degree is generally required for the occupation, the petitioner did not show a requirement for a degree in a specific specialty, which is necessary to meet the regulations. The petitioner also failed to provide evidence that a specific degree is a standard industry requirement, that the company normally requires a degree for the role, or that the duties are sufficiently complex to necessitate a degreed individual.
