H-1B Dismissed — Clothing Industry (2006): did not establish the proffered position of 'business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'business analyst' qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director that the duties were more aligned with a marketing manager role, which, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty for entry. The petitioner failed to meet any of the four regulatory criteria for a specialty occupation.
