Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the proffered position of business analyst as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that requiring a general business administration degree is insufficient, as it does not constitute a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position. Additionally, an analysis of the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook for market research analysts showed that the field accepts degrees from a wide range of disparate fields, further indicating that a degree in a specific specialty is not a normal minimum requirement for entry.
