dismissed H-1B Case: Business Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of budget analyst qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria, noting a lack of evidence to clarify the exact nature of the position or to demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a normal requirement for the role.
