H-1B Dismissed — Business Analysis (2022): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered 'business analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The primary reason was that the petitioner's stated degree requirement, which included a general degree in business administration, was too broad. This indicated the position does not require a degree in a 'specific specialty' or the application of a body of 'highly specialized knowledge' as mandated by the law.
