H-1B Dismissed — Cleaning And Painting Services (2020): did not establish the proffered 'management analyst'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'management analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement, as the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that many different fields of study are suitable for a management analyst. The petitioner also did not sufficiently explain how the disparate academic fields it listed (e.g., business and psychology) were directly related to the duties of the position within its small company.
