H-1B Dismissed — Business Intelligence (2016): did not establish the proffered position of 'consultant -

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'consultant - business intelligence architect' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner's stated minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in either 'computer science or business' was too broad. Requiring a degree in two disparate fields, without further explanation, does not establish that the position requires a body of highly specialized knowledge in a specific specialty.
