H-1B Dismissed — Budget Analysis (2017): did not establish the proffered 'budget analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'budget analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner required a general bachelor's degree in fields like business or accounting, which is not sufficient to prove the position requires a degree in a specific specialty. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position's duties were so specialized or complex as to require a specific baccalaureate degree, nor that such a specific degree was a normal requirement for the position in the industry.
