H-1B Dismissed — Business Analysis (2024): did not establish the proffered "Project Analyst" position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered "Project Analyst" position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in business administration or a closely related field was too broad to meet the statutory definition, which requires a degree in a 'specific specialty' that imparts a body of highly specialized knowledge.
