H-1B Dismissed — Computer Science (2019): did not establish the proffered 'technical analyst'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'technical analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to meet the first criterion, as the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that a bachelor's degree in a specific computer-related field is not always a requirement for Computer Systems Analyst positions and that individuals with business or liberal arts degrees can also be hired.
Criteria Discussed
8 C.F.R. § 214.2(H)(4)(Iii)(A)(1) - A Baccalaureate Or Higher Degree Or Its Equivalent Is Normally The Minimum Requirement For Entry Into The Particular Position.
