H-1B Dismissed — Business Analysis (2020): did not establish the proffered 'business associate'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business associate' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director, and subsequently the AAO, determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the duties of the position were sufficiently specialized or complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
