H-1B Dismissed — Convention And Trade Show Organization (2017): did not establish the proffered 'budget analyst' position

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.
