H-1B Dismissed — Business Analysis (2016): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position
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 did not demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook which does not specify a particular degree field for management analysts.
Criteria Discussed
8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1) - A Baccalaureate Or Higher Degree Or Its Equivalent Is Normally The Minimum Requirement For Entry Into The Particular Position
