H-1B Dismissed — Computer Systems Analysis (2020): did not establish the proffered 'business analyst' position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'business analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not describe the job duties with sufficient detail and did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the particular position, noting that the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook allows for various educational backgrounds for similar roles.
