dismissed H-1B Case: Convention And Trade Show Organization
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'budget analyst' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's requirement of a general business administration degree was found insufficient, as it did not demonstrate the need for a degree in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties. This failure to show a close correlation between a specialized course of study and the job duties was the primary basis for the dismissal.
